The class 215 locomotive was first a diesel locomotive of the DB. Later on, the Deutsche Bahn AG used it in the moderate passenger and goods traffic. The series was bought as a variant of the vehicle-family V 160 at short sight and then was equipped with heating steam generators. The main reason for the class 215 production was that class 218, at the time, had not yet reached the production stage.
