The class 212 is considered a direct sub-class of the V 100, as it was built according to its development standards. Only a more powerful motor with 993 kW was mounted. It was put into service from 1962 to 1965 as class V 100.20, intended for main line and steep line services, in contrast to the V 100.10 used for branch line services. The locomotives were considered very robust and reliable, achieving high, trouble-free mileages. They were widespread in almost all of Germany.
