In 1958, the first V100s rolled out on the Federal Railway. By 1966, there were over 700 of them. Manufactured by well-known locomotive factories. A V100 also hit the tracks at the Reichsbahn. It is very similar to its West German counterpart. In 1967, series production began at LEW in Hennigsdorf. The new machines had the same tasks as their western counterpart: replacing steam operation in medium to light passenger and freight transport.
