The Dutch State Railways have ordered a totally new diesel locomotive from the Kiel Machine Company (MaK) for the modernization of non-electrified motive power. The result was the class 6400 diesel electric locomotive. It is based on the DE 1002 in use on several privately owned railroads in Germany. Yet, there are clearly differences in the design: It makes use of electrical components from the development of the class 120 electric locomotives. The almost 1,200 kilowatt or 1,609 horsepower output required of the electronically controlled, three-phase asynchronous motors demanded a larger diesel motor and fuel tank. This made the locomotive over 1.5 meters or 4 feet 11-1/16 inches longer. Most of the 120 units of this class are in the NS classic gray/yellow paint scheme. Since the freight service in the Netherlands was privatized and separated into groups, the last units were painted in the red color scheme for NS Cargo.
