In order to replace the M 131.1 series railcars, which were no longer up to date, the Czechoslovak State Railways purchased new twin-axle diesel railcars with the series designation M 152.0. Delivered in series from 1975 onwards, these vehicles were powered by a 155 kW six-cylinder in-line engine and reached a top speed of 80 km/h. 56 seats were available in the passenger compartment.
Many colour variations were produced over time. The version with a beige banderole became established in the 1980s for the Czechoslovak State Railways. After the division of the CSD, the railcars, with and without trailers, were also operated on all branch lines of the Czech State Railways (CD).
