In the 1970s, the former Czechoslovak State Railways (CSD) had an urgent need for powerful diesel goods locomotives for medium-heavy shunting and mainline service. As a result, the lighter T 466.2 variant was designed based on the industrial locomotive type T 448. CKD in Prag manufactured nine series (each with slight technical differences) with 94 units from 1977 onwards and was in service with the CSD until 1986.
