==Locomotive in reality==
The 163 series locomotive, derived from the 363 series, is based on the need to operate on lines with 3 kV DC voltage. In the early 1980s, the situation in rail transport began to change, with the 140 and 141 series locomotives due to be phased out in 1985 without sufficient replacements. This led to Škoda commissioning a new series of locomotives capable of operating under DC traction. Although a prototype of the 163 series was never built, prototypes of the two-system ES 499.1 locomotives (today's 363 series) were used for development. The 163 series locomotives are therefore part of the so-called second generation of Škoda locomotives.
