From 1971, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put class 218 locomotives of the series 398 into service and uses them for both passenger and goods trains. They are used on most non-electrified lines and reach a maximum speed of 140 km/h with an output of 1,840 kW.
Over the years, the class 218 went through several colour variations. The first 218s were still delivered in the purple livery common to diesel locomotives. From 1975, the exterior of the locomotives was dominated by ocean blue/beige colours.
