ZWIEHOFF: Two-way vehicles
ZWIEHOFF presents the latest shunting vehicles at the transport logistic 2019 trade fair in Munich. What makes them special? These are two-way vehicles that not only travel by rail, but also on the road.
Two-way vehicles - shunting on rail & road
ZWIEHOFF has specialized in road-rail vehicles. This means: vehicles that can travel by rail and road and are therefore both more economical and more flexible.
At transport logistic, shunting vehicles will be on display that can be used to shunt on the rails, switch between the rails on the road and switch to the next rail and shunt again.
Better traction with rubber tires
When it comes to rail shunting, many people immediately think of a large locomotive. Why are two-way vehicles so much smaller? The traction of the rubber tires is about three times higher. This means that the weight of the vehicle can be significantly reduced.
Shunting locomotive with radio remote control - soon autonomous?
Traditionally, the two-way vehicles are controlled by radio remote control. However, there is currently a joint project with DB Systel and the University of Aachen that aims to have these vehicles drive automatically. Autonomous driving should be possible within the next three years.
Costs of two-way vehicles
The price of a shunting locomotive is currently around 80,000 - 90,000 euros.
