The class 212 class is considered to be the direct sub-class of the V 100, as it was built according to the latter’s development requirements. Only a more powerful engine with 993 kW was used in the locomotive. Used from 1962 to 1965 as class V 100.20, it was also intended for main and steep line service, in contrast to the V 100.10 used in branch line service.
Because an enlarged cooling system proved expedient on the V 100.10 locomotives due to the increased engine power, the front end and the frame cover plate were extended from the V 100 2022 model onwards from 12,100 mm to 12,300 mm. The larger cooling system can be identified by its vertical slats in comparison to the horizontal slats on the other series locomotives.
The locomotives were considered very sturdy and reliable and their running performance was strong and trouble-free. The machines were widespread in almost all of Germany.
