On a trial basis, in 1972 the German State Railway in the former GDR initially equipped three examples of the class 110 with a 1,200 hp diesel engine which also proved excellent in express train service. The hydrodynamic drive and other components were adapted appropriately. Between 1981 and 1990, further conversions were carried out (on approx. 500 locomotives) to achieve 1,200 hp (883 kW) at Raw Stendal using the 12 KVD 18/21 AL-4 and AL-5 engines. These locomotives were designated as class 112.
