After the introduction of the UIC numbering by RENFE in 1971, the ten locomotives of the 2000T series were designated as 352-001 to 352-010, with the old number additionally retained on the front. Each locomotive is equipped with two turbocharged Maybach-MD-650 diesel engines, each with 1,200 hp, whose cooling is automatically regulated via side shutters and which have electric preheating systems. The fuel supply is provided by three connected tanks with a total capacity of 1,200 liters.

The drive is transmitted via elastic couplings, cardan shafts, and a hydraulic Mekydro-K-104 transmission with automatic gear shifting at 30, 45, and 75 km/h. The power supply for air conditioning, lighting, and auxiliary operations is provided by two motor-generator sets with Daimler-Benz six-cylinder engines and three-phase generators.

The locomotives have a single aerodynamic driver's cab on the left side, a Scharfenberg coupling for Talgo trains at the rear, and only an emergency and shunting coupling at the front. Between 1985 and 1986, the front windows were renewed for safety reasons, and in 1986, some units received an increased maximum speed of 160 km/h.
