For some tasks, especially shunting of heavy railway coach sets, the performance of the V 15/BR 101 was too weak. There was therefore further development with a more powerful engine, carried out in collaboration with LKM Babelsberg. The new series was designated as V 23, and renumbered in 102.0 series in 1970. In all, 81 machines were delivered to the DR. All still received the typical blue paint that characterised the DR‘s small diesel locomotives.
