The V 200 series of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was a series of diesel-electric locomotives. It is the variant built for the GDR of the Soviet M62 design. With the introduction of computer-based numbering at the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1970, it was renumbered as series 120. The last units received the all-German series designation 220 in 1992.
In the 1960s, the transition from steam to diesel traction was promoted. For this purpose, locomotives were not only built in Babelsberg and Hennigsdorf but also imported from the Luhansk locomotive factory in the Soviet Union (now Ukraine). This became necessary because, due to specialization agreements within the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), no higher-powered diesel locomotives were to be built in the GDR in the future. The first of these imported series was the V 200, later series 120, with 1,470 kW (2,000 hp) for freight service.

In den 1960er Jahren wurde die Umstellung der Traktion von Dampf auf Diesel propagiert.
