The power was transmitted over a hydraulic drive, followed by an electro-mechanical gearbox to one axle. A pneumatically operated axle-mounted reverse gearbox allowed directional control. The electrical systems of the powered car were supplied by a 24 V / 1.2 kW alternator, those of the trailers by generators which were driven from the axle by a belt. The latter proved insufficient so that the powered cars were later equipped with two alternators working in parallel. Thermostat-controlled heating was provided by oil-fired radiators, in the powered cars also by the engine cooling water.

The railcars were intended for branch line services and could be seen almost all over the GDR, except on lines with steep gradients. Due to their top speed of 90 km/h they were also used in stopping train services on mainlines, in particular north of Berlin. Furthermore, they saw regular use on
