In October 2020, VolkerRail purchased three locomotives from the 1700 series as well as three locomotives for use as spare part providers from the Dutch State Railways. After comprehensive maintenance and repainting in their own livery, VolkerRail's first own electric locomotive was put into service in January 2021 as the "VolkerRail 7178". This locomotive, formerly designated the 1778 by NS, is used by the Dutch rail infrastructure company to haul diverse work trains.
