The V 180 series of the German State Railways of the GDR was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was initially built in a four-axis version with two 2-axis bogies, later there were also 6-axis variants. The six-axle version still holds the low axle chassis mass of 15.6 tons as an engineering masterpiece, so that this locomotive can be used universally on branch lines. In addition, it has an approval for steep slopes. The resulting possible application area is unique for German large diesel locomotives.This text is machine translated.
