In the mid-1950s, the design program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn for acquiring new diesel locomotives also included a four-axle mainline diesel locomotive with an output of 1800 HP. The locomotives equipped with two diesel engines of Class 12KVD had a steam heating system. After delivery of a prototype and pre-series, a total of 83 four-axle locomotives of Class V 180 were put into service by the Deutsche Reichsbahn up to 1965. When in 1970 the conversion to EDP took place, the locomotives were reclassified as Class 118.0.
