Class V 180 of the railway company of the German Democratic Republic was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was initially built as a four-axle version with two 2-axle bogies, later 6-axle variants were also made. The low axle mass of 15.6 tonnes of the six-axle version is still considered an engineering masterpiece today; it means that this locomotive can also be used universally on secondary railways. It also has a licence for steep sections. The area of application that this makes possible is unique for large German diesel locomotives.
