The class V 100 was developed for passenger and freight train service and as a version for use in the DR shunting service. The maximum speed of this locomotive was 100 km/h with a power output of 1000 hp. It therefore quickly became a general-purpose locomotive and fitted neatly into the gap between the less powerful class V 60 and the more powerful class V 180.
