During the so-called "power modernization" of replacing steam locomotives with diesel locomotives and electric locomotives, diesel locomotives for replacement and branch lines were needed. Although there was already a DD13 for replacement, the axle load was 14 tons and it was difficult to enter the branch line, so we did not enter into a full-scale replacement of a steam locomotive because it did not have steam heating. In addition, DD20, which was subsequently prototyped, did not enter mass production due to the problem of axle load. So, in 1966, the DE10, a locomotive for replacement and branch lines, utilizing these experiences was introduced. With five driving shafts and an axle load of 13 tons, it became possible to enter low-grade railway lines, and 708 cars were manufactured from 1966. A semi-center cab with the driver's cab leaning to one side is adopted due to weight balance. The longer bonnet has a drive engine and the shorter one has a steam generator. The three-axle bogies are independent for each axle to reduce lateral pressure on the track, and have an AAA-B axle arrangement. Initially, the engine output was 1250PS, but from 1969 the increase has been transferred to the 1000s (with SG) and 1500s (without SG), which have been upgraded to 1350PS. Of the 1000s and 1500s, the product is a group of 1188-1209 and 1569-1609 with a fan cover in the cab, and models warm terrain.
