There are today 15 locomotives of this series operated by Serbian Railways and two operated by Rail transport of Kolubara coal basin. This locomotives are built for heavy shunting.

This series was originally designated as the '''ČMKS 709''', with series 621-100 being 709.401, 621-200 being 709.701 and 621-300 being 709.5.
