Eighteen BLS locomotives of the type Re 465 will be modernised by 2022 and given a new paint coat. The BLS will have them equipped with suitable multiple control systems to use them with Vectron and Traxx locomotives for the goods transport. Furthermore, an Ethernet train will serve as a backbone to haul the "Car tunnel trains" and the future "Goldenpass trains". The baptismal names once placed on the nose of the locomotives will no longer be used. The overhaul will be carried out in the factory in Bönigen.
