From 1962, Deutz offered the two-axle diesel-hydraulic KG 230 B in the performance class of a Köf III. KG stands for small locomotive with cardan shaft drive, 230 for the output in horsepower and B for the axle arrangement. The in-house air-cooled twelve-cylinder A12L714 engine produced 230 hp at 2000 rpm. The seven KG 230s built for explosion-sensitive plants were equipped with a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine. The transmissions of most locomotives were set to a maximum speed of between 20 and 30 km/h in favor of tractive power. Depending on the track position, the customers had additional metal placed in the frame area so that the locomotives could be ordered with a weight of 26 to 36 tons. The two Bayernhafen AG locomotives and the BEHALA locomotives even had multiple control systems. Despite their advanced age, many of the two-axle locomotives still in use today still have their original engines. As most companies only owned a few locomotives, they were kept in good technical condition as they could not be dispensed with. The few employees who were trained on the locomotives knew the limits of their locomotives over the years, and the simple and robust truck technology could often be kept running with "on-board resources" from the factory. Deutz delivered a total of 64, Henschel another three KG 230 Bs, mainly to German owners, but also to France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. One locomotive was purchased by the German Federal Post Office, while other locomotives were used by the Italian state railroad FS and the Spanish RENFE. The list of owners reads like a who's who of major European industry: BASF, RAG, Wintershall, BP, DEA, Shell, VTG, Arbed, Thyssen, Mannesmann, Feldmühle AG, Krupp Stahl, Rheinpreußen, Rhenus, RWE, Ford, MAN, Volkswagen, Kali + Salz, Portland Zement, Holcim Zement, Südzucker AG. Port logistics in Aschaffenburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremerhaven, Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, Hanover, Regensburg and at Luxport in Wasserbillig also relied on the stability and tractive power of the air-cooled two-axle vehicles. The high quality of the design is demonstrated by the fact that the locomotives are not scrapped when they are not needed, but sold on. A locomotive in elegant red paint carefully moves valuable museum vehicles at the 241-A-65 association.
