In the 1970s, the former Czechoslovak State Railway (CSD) were in great need of powerful diesel freight locomotives for medium-weight shunting and line service. For this purpose, the lighter variant T 466.2 was derived from the industrial locomotive type T 448. Starting from 1977, it was manufactured by CKD Prag with 494 units in nine construction series (each with small differences) and came into service until 1986.
