The V 180 series of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (German State Railways) of the GDR was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was initially built in a four-axle version with two two-axle bogies, but later, six-axle variants were also available. The low axle weight of 15.6 t of the six-axle version is still considered an engineering masterpiece, allowing this locomotive to be used universally on branch lines. It is also approved for steep slopes. The resulting range of applications is unique among large German diesel locomotives.
