Czechoslovakian ČSD Class T 458.1 diesel locomotives remain in use as shunters in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

[1][page needed] The locomotives were built using the same hood arrangement and driver's cab as the T 435.0.

Due to the increased weight of the units, they had a higher tractive effort despite using the same diesel engine.

Except for the first five units, the locomotives had an extended wheelset using swing arms with helical spring suspension, offering improved running characteristics.

The type was also successful in the export market; in addition to the USSR, it was also supplied to Albania, India, Iraq, the GDR, and Poland.
