The diesel locomotive class, nicknamed 'Babelsbergerin' after its place of origin, was produced in series from 1962 by Lokomotivbau 'Karl Marx'. The new B'B'-configured Class V 180 derived its designation from its powerplant: two motors, each delivering 900 hp. The locomotives had a centrally mounted boiler for universal use, including in front of passenger trains. The maximum speed was 120 km/h, which was sufficient on the GDR's main lines; only very few lines were designed for higher speeds. From 1970 onward, the V 180s were designated as Class 118 and saw widespread service across the entire territory of the GDR.
