New 2026: Strong power in the shunting service – The V 90 series

The V 90 is a medium heavy, diesel hydraulic shunting and sliding locomotive of the German Federal Railways, developed for demanding tasks on the tracks. As an original further development of the V 100, MaK (Kiel mechanical engineering) developed a completely new design: Longer, more robust and more powerful. The first 20 pre-production locomotives were delivered in 1964/65, and from 1966 series production followed with the tried-and-tested MTU 12V engine and a maximum speed of 80 km/h. Over the decades, the V 90 proved capable of transformation: From the purple original paint to ocean blue-beige and today's traffic-red design. Equipped with modern radio remote control, it was further developed into the 294 series - an important step toward increasing the efficiency in shunting operation. Today the series is the backbone of the individual carriage of DB Cargo. The locomotives maneuver goods trains throughout Germany, pick up wagons at trailers and ensure smooth processes at shunting yards.
