According to the design programme drawn up by the Bundesbahn Central Office (BZA) in the 1950s for the procurement of new locomotives, there was also a 6-axle diesel locomotive for heavy duty passenger and freight trains. The 160 kph locomotive equipped with two 1800 HP diesel engines was commissioned in January 1963 and provided good service. As electrification progressed, however, no further locomotives of this class were required and so the locomotive remained the only one of its kind.
