In 1960 a 1750 HP diesel-electric locomotive was arrived to Budapest for demonstration and for some trial runs. This loco with uncommon look was built by Nydqvist och Holm AB (NoHAB) Trollhättan (Sweden), some main parts (GM-EMD 16/567C prime mover, the genarator and the 6 traction motors and some more) were delivered by General Motors - Electro-Motive Division of the United States. So began the glittering domestic career of the best ever locomotive type of the MÁV (and maybe of Europe).

    This exemplar was originally planned to build for the Finnish State Railways, but the contract was canceled in the last minutes before the signing and the loco was later bought by the Norwegian State Railways (NSB). It was running in ordinary duty until the very end of the NOHAB-era in Norway and is still in use at Ofotbanen AS, Norway
