The Newag 6Dl is a locomotive class rebuilt from the SM42 series and equipped with two diesel engines. The locomotive follows the Newag 6Dg and the Newag 18D, and is able to provide electric train heating to the carriages. This is the first Newag locomotive which has bumpers (shock absorbers) to absorb collision energy.[1][shallow reference]

In September 2013, PKP Intercity contracted Newag to convert 10 of its SM42 diesel locomotives with a twin-engine configuration and electric train heating.[2] At the end of 2013, conversion work had started, and was completed in May 2015.[3]
