V100

V100.10 (built 1958–1963)

V100.20 (built 1963–1966)

Light multi-purpose diesel locomotive

The V100 was introduced in 1958 as a light mainline locomotive for freight and passenger trains. Sometimes (in flat areas) they could even be seen as heavy freight units in double traction. The first units have been issued as V100.10 with 1100hp engines and 12.10m overall length. This version was built until 1963.

In 1959 a prototype with 1350hp engine was introduced for testing purpose. From 1962 on, all the following units (20) have been equipped with the stronger engine.

Starting with the 1963 production, the overall length was increased to 12.30m and some additional minor changes were made. The V100.20 was born. This version was built up to 1966. A special type of the V100.20 was the V100.23, later br 213, which was equipped with a second security brake system (hydrodynamic) to deal with gradients of up to 40‰. Ten of these were built for service in mountain regions.
