v162
The DB Class V 162 (after 1968 named DB Class 217) is a class of four-axle diesel hydraulic locomotive built as a development of the DB Class V 160 for the Deutsche Bundesbahn from 1965 to 1968.
This variant has a separate diesel engine providing auxiliary power and for electric train heating, replacing the steam generator in the original V 160.
The locomotives continued to be used after the formation of the Deutsche Bahn AG in 1994; the final DB Schenker unit was withdrawn in December 1997.
Two of the prototypes of the class operated as internal locomotives and were for a time classified as DB Class 753.
