The body of the EL.200 was entirely metal, welded from steel plates. The coupling devices and buffers were bolted to the frame, forming a single unit with the body. To achieve higher tractive force and increased stability, the locomotive was ballasted with
353:-type motors, suspended within the bogie frame by their nose, transmitted torque to the wheelsets through a cylindrical helical gear transmission with a 74:21 ratio, allowing a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The locomotive was equipped with
