The most important representative of the V-160 locomotive family is the class 218 diesel locomotive. After 12 pre-series locomotives, the series vehicles were delivered from 1971 on by the companies Krupp, Henschel, Krauss-Maffei and MaK in four slightly different construction series. The 140 km/h fast and up to 2,800 hp powered locomotives are used in both passenger and goods train services.
Over the years, class 218 has been painted in various colours. The first 218s were delivered in the usual purple-red colour scheme for diesel locomotives. From 1975 on, the external appearance of the locomotives was dominated by ocean blue/beige.
