In order to accelerate the traction change, the railway company of the German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Reichsbahn) (DR) procured a total of 378 class V 200 (later class 120) locomotives from the Soviet Union from 1966 to 1975. Because the locomotives had no train heating in their ex works condition, they were mainly used in goods train transport. Later, noise dampers were supplemented to suppress the noise levels produced by the engines. Due to their loud engine noise, they were quickly given the nickname “Taigatrommel” (Taiga drum).
