Under the terms of the RGW (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance), the Soviet Union has supplied numerous six-axle goods locomotives to many countries under the designation M62. The supplier was the locomotive factory "October Revolution" in Lugansk, which was one of the largest plants in the Soviet Union. The first prototypes appeared in 1964 and the series production started as a result in 1965. The locomotives with a power output of 1470 kW achieved a top speed of 100 km/h. By 1976, a total of 723 broad-gauge locomotives were delivered to the SZD.
