Between 1992 and 2011, the principal purpose of the units was to serve Zagreb Commuter Rail where they operated exclusively, in addition to some other electrified lines in short to medium distance from Zagreb. By 2023, however, they were entirely replaced by the HŽ 6112 series on Zagreb suburban lines, so remained limited number of existing 6 111 sets were mostly returned to serve some of the lines on other regional routes across the country. After the electric traction system on the section Moravice - Rijeka - Šapjane (border with Slovenia) was changed from 3 kV to 25 kV in 2012, the 6 111 series was given the opportunity to operate on the lines between Zagreb and Rijeka, as well as on the Rijeka suburban traffic line.[2]
