In 1938 they came to launched a new two-stroke diesel engine, who want to replaced the Winton 201A-engine from 1933. The new engine type came to be a great success, who capture so to say the hole world with the exception of the Eastern Bloc. The formerly East Bloc Country Hungary was a exception.

5 years later in the middle under the World War 2, came a improved edition 567A in 1943, who in 1946 came to replaced by 567B. 567B came to be this engine, who bring the GM-EMD to Europe in form by the four first MY-locomotives to the DSB (Danish State Railways) in 1954 who together with six 8-cylindres to the luxembourgian state railways, be the only with this engine.

The subsequently 40 pieces of MY-locomotives of DSB and the first 20 pieces of MX-locomotives plus the Norwegian Di3´s and the Belgian types 202, 203 and 204 and the luxembourgian 1601-1604 get a 567C-engine, who came to launched in 1954. In contrast to her predecessors, who had a number of revolution on 800, get the new 567C´s a number of revolutions on 835 who was a standard for the subsequently engine types.

In 1959 came the 567D1´s to launched, who get a compressions ratio on 20:1 in contrast to her predecessors, who had 16:1, which the Winton 201A also had. The last 15 pieces of MY-locomotives and of 25 pieces MX-locomotives of DSB get this engine type, who the 20 pieces of Hungarian M61´s also get, that's up they of one or another reason call 567D.

In Norway get they in 1965 six pieces of Di3, who get a 567C-engine, like the 44 pieces of Belgian/luxembourgian locomotives from 1955-57 also get, which the 62 pieces of new locomotives B (Belgian State Railways) type 205 and CFL type 1800 also get. In Norway get they total 31 pieces of locomotives with 567C-engines and in Belgium get they total 218 pieces of them 136 pieces with a 12-cylinder 567C-engine and Luxembourg get up to 24 pieces.

In 1969 came to made 5 pieces of 567E-engines, who want to used in the four last pieces of Di3, who NSB get delivered and the engine was a changed edition of the subsequently 645E.

In USA came also to made turbo editions of 567´s in 1959 who get a model names 567D2, 567D3 and 567D3A with a compressions ratio on 14,5:1. To of the models had a number of revolution on 835, while 567D3A get a number of revolution on 900, who however came to standard in the subsequently 645.

The American F-locomotive had her great period in the forties and the first half of the fifties, who came to displaced by the "Road-switchers" GP- and SD-locomotives. who however find the way to Sweden and the formerly Yugoslavia. The only different is the axle arrangement, who the GP-model have Bo-Bo like the F-locomotive and the SD-model have Co-Co.

The 16-cylinder engine used in the Americans models BL, F, GP and SD plus the European DSB MY , NSB Di3, CFL 1600 and 1800, B 202, 203, 204 and 205 and MAV M61, plus some Spanish 319s and Yugoslavian "road-switchers".

The 12-cylinder engine used in DSB MX and the Swedish "road-switchers", plus some small Belgian and Yugoslavian locomotives. The American G12 7707 use also the 12-cylinder engine, who came to be a model for the Swedish and Austrian locomotives. The Austrian have the type name 2050.

Really the engine type 567 go out of production in 1965, but even 21 years after get the Spanish railways 40 pieces of 319´s delivered with this engine, so they must say this is a engine type who not just like to kill.
