The introduction of the New Austro-Takt in June 1991 caused a shortage of diesel locomotives with electric train heating at the ÖBB. In order to free up classes 2043 and 2143 for passenger service, 34 DB Class 211 locomotives were procured. The locomotives, which were remotorized with a Caterpilar engine, were used for shunting and freight train services at Wels, Wien Nord, Amstetten and Krems.
