To meet the demand for heavy shunting locomotives, the DR ordered 37 machines from the company LEW Henningsdorf at the end of the 1970s. LEW Henningsdorf had already developed such locomotives for export activities. The locomotives, produced in three construction lots from 1981 to 1983, excelled with the proven 1.000 hp motor and relied on a transmission with a modified gear ratio, similar to the first V 100 locomotives. The maximum speed was, therefore, only 65 km/h. A ballast weight was installed instead of the boiler. Like all DR shunting locomotives, these locomotives had an orange and yellow livery. For the safety of the shunting personnel during the journey, railings were fitted to the locomotive's front ends.
