With more horsepower to Lindau for heavy passenger service on the then non-electrified and winding route from Munich to Lindau gave some thought in the DB on a performance improvement of the locomotives of the series V 160 to the relation Munich - to Zurich operate faster and more efficiently. The V 160 was designed for the medium heavy duty and so the German Federal Railways decided to procure 8 Diesel locomotives of the 210 series with Gasturbine as an additional drive.
