After a short development time, Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik presented the first sample of the Gravita family at InnoTrans 2008. Five different performance classes are projected, from the four-axle Gravita 20BB to the "chicks", which go by the name Gravita 5BB and which have only two axles. Although the vehicle had only existed as a prototype and was not yet widely tested, DB Schenker decided on more than 130 locomotives for the Gravita 10BB in its 2007 bid invitation. By now, the units of the Gravita 10BB are in use on German rail tracks. The designated DB machines are produced and in use nationwide under the series designation BR 260. Apart from Northrail, another 5 locomotives went to Switzerland. Continuing this success, the larger sister in this series, the Gravita 15D, was shown in Berlin in 2010. Although only 1.2 m longer than the Gravita 10BB, it produces up to 1,800kW, making it as suitable for line service as it is for shunting. All locomotives built by Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik are also suited for multi-led traction with each other.
