With diesel-electric Blue Tiger DE-AC 33C German ADtranz entered the market of heavy freight diesel locos in 1996. After delivery of 30 samples for Pakistan and 20 for Malaysia another 10 were ship to some private railroads in Germany. The prime mover GE 7FDL 12 EFI delivers 2460 kW at 1050 rpm and produces the energy for the six traction motors GE GEB 15. The loco reaches a maximum speed of 120 km/h.

The classes (BR) 215 and 218 diesel locomotives of the Western German Railway (DB) are used in mixed service since 1968.
218 101 to 194, 218 242 to 288 were equipped with a 12 cylinder 4 stroke main Diesel from MAN that was later called MTU 12 V 956 TB10 that generates 2500 HP. The 2800 HP version of this motor is called MTU 12 V 956 TB11.
In the late 1980s the exhaust system of BR 218 with the 12 V motor had been optimized. Since 1995 many of the 218 are equipped with motors called "MTU 12 more…

The 215 011-070 and 215 091-150 were equipped ex works with 1900 hp MTU MB 16V 652 TB10 engines. The engines heated their trains with steam generated by a Hagenuk OK 4610 steam boiler (licensed by Vapor Heating). While the boiler only hisses discreetly during operation, a characteristic multiple slapping sound can be heard when it is switched off. Since most DB passenger car types were equipped with both steam and electric train heating, the 215 series could also be used to haul high-quality more…

In 1964 series production of dieselhydraulic main line loco V160 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn DB started.The four axle loco was driven by a 16 cylinder diesel motor MB 16V 652 TB. The 1900-HP-locos were used in medium passenger and freight duty and reached a maximum speed of 120 km/h.

After stricter exhaust gas values had been in effect since the early 1990s, it was clear that the 218 that were due for reengineering can no longer be equipped with the exhaust-optimized 12-cylinder diesel engine 12 V 956 TB11, as this no longer complied with the limit values. MTU therefore took the previous engine block from the TB11 and changed the electronics. The blue paintwork also makes the new motor look different from its gray predecessor. The soundscape of the two TB11 versions differs more…

When DB AG allocated its locomotive series to the newly established business units DB Regio, DB Fernverkehr, and DB Cargo at the end of the 1990s, the steam-heated 215 locomotives were allocated to DB Regio. While DB Regio only needed a few 215 locomotives, but DB Cargo needed to replace many 216 locomotives due for major overhauls, it was decided to sell Regio's surplus 215 locomotives to DB Cargo and upgrade them for further years of freight service by removing the boiler and installing a more…

BR 245 is the brand new diesel electric multi-motor loco of German State Railway DB. Based on the electric locos BR 145-185 new 245 shares around 75 % of the parts with them. The four Caterpillar CAT C18 diesel motors develop 563 kW each. The loco is able to reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Only sometimes the traction motors need the energy of all of the four motors, so the electronic system decides by itself to start or to switch off motors during operation.
