Additional information

The first two of five prototypes for two-motor diesel locomotives with hydraulic transmission were presented at the German Transportation Exhibition in 1953. Starting in 1956 a total of 81 series units designated as the class V 200 came into being. They had a power output of 2,200 horsepower and a maximum speed of 140 km/h (approx. 88 mph) and were planned chiefly for heavy express train service. Starting in 1968 these units were designated as the class 220. The lettering "Deutsche Bundesbahn", originally on the sides of the units, had in the meantime been removed. The last units were retired by the DB in 1984.
