To accelerate traction changes, the Deutsche Reichsbahn purchased a total of 378 Class V 200 (later Class 120) locomotives from the Soviet Union between 1966 and 1975. Since the locomotives did not have factory-installed train heating, they were primarily used for goods train service. Later, silencers were added to reduce the noise level of the motors. Due to the loud engine noise, the locomotives quickly earned the nickname "Taiga drums."
