When compiling the standard design programme of the DB, a mainline diesel locomotive with an output of 1500-1600 HP had already been considered. The engine and drive system of the V160 is closely based on the locomotives of V100. The locomotives of Class 216 were used in nearly all railway divisions of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. They were used for both passenger and freight transport, where they provided good service.
