In order to meet the demand for heavy shunting locomotives, the DR ordered 37 machines from LEW Henningsdorf at the end of the 1970s, which had already developed such locomotives for export. The locomotives manufactured in three construction lots from 1981 to 1983 had the proven 1,000 hp engine, but a transmission with a changed gear ratio, similar to the first V 100 locomotives. The maximum speed was therefore only 65 km/h. Instead of the boiler, a ballast weight was installed. Like all DR shunting locomotives, these locomotives had an orange-yellow coat of paint. For the safety of the shunting staff while driving, railings were added to the stems of these locomotives.
