The V 180 series of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was initially built in a four-axle version with two two-axle bogies, and later in a six-axle version. The low axle load of 15,6 tonnes of the six-axle version is still considered a technical masterstroke, making this locomotive universally usable on branch lines. It is also approved for steep gradients. The resulting versatility is unique among large German diesel locomotives.
