At the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1982, the wagon manufacturer Studenka from the former CSSR exhibited a class M152 railcar at the exhibition centre, along with other rail vehicles. The Deutsche Reichsbahn had been looking for a successor to its Class 171/172 light railcars for some time, so the DR decided to rent this railcar for test purposes and to test its usability. It was to be given the series number 174.Due to a foreign trade deficit, the GDR (DR) was unable to procure any further railcars in the CSSR and so the rented test vehicles were returned in December 1983.
