Hellenic Train Class 120, also known as Hellas Sprinter, is a class of electric locomotives operated by Hellenic Train. It is part of OSE's rolling stock. They were manufactured by Siemens and Krauss-Maffei in Germany.
They are equipped with electric motors with a total power of 5000 kW and have been used in both passenger and freight trains on the Greek railways since 1999. It was the first and is currently the only class of fully electric locomotives of the Hellenic Railway Network and the main locomotives used between Athens and Thessaloniki.
