Zwiehoff GmbH is a German manufacturer of special vehicles and technical system solutions based in Rosenheim. The company specializes in vehicles for industry, airport logistics, and railway technology and is considered a technological leader, particularly in the field of shunting and road-rail vehicles. Zwiehoff develops solutions for applications in which standard vehicles reach their limits and high demands are placed on precision, safety, and reliability. The focus is on vehicles that are specially designed for combined use on road and rail as well as for internal transport and shunting tasks. Zwiehoff combines classic vehicle technology with modern electrification, intelligent control and a high degree of adaptability to customer-specific requirements.
Zwiehoff was founded in Rosenheim in 1987. From the outset, the focus was on special-purpose vehicles for industrial applications and the public sector. The aim was to develop vehicles that could move heavy loads safely, were compact in design, and functioned reliably even under difficult conditions. Over the years, Zwiehoff has continuously developed and expanded its portfolio in a targeted manner. In particular, its specialization in shunting technology and road-rail vehicles has given the company a clear position in the market. Today, Zwiehoff is active internationally and works with customers in the railway, industrial, logistics, port management, and municipal services sectors.
A key feature of Zwiehoff vehicles is their high level of technical specialization. The vehicles are not intended for the mass market, but are tailored precisely to defined application scenarios. These include confined spaces, high traction loads, frequent changes of direction, and combined use on different surfaces. Zwiehoff is particularly well known for its shunting and road-rail vehicles, which can be used on both roads and rails. These vehicles make it possible to move rail vehicles flexibly without the need for large locomotives. This is particularly advantageous in industrial plants, factory yards, ports, or maintenance areas. Zwiehoff's typical product range includes:

A key development focus at Zwiehoff is the electrification of vehicles. Electrically powered shunting vehicles enable emission-free operation while reducing maintenance and operating costs. The systems are designed to work reliably even under heavy loads and can be integrated into existing logistics and operational processes. In addition, Zwiehoff pursues a holistic system approach. Vehicles are not viewed in isolation, but as part of complex logistics and transport processes. Interfaces to control systems, safety concepts, and operational processes play an important role in this.
At Zwiehoff, sustainability is closely linked to technical innovation. By using electric drives, durable components, and efficient vehicle concepts, the company contributes to reducing emissions and conserving resources. At the same time, vehicles are designed to remain flexible in their use for many years. With its clear focus on specialized applications, high technical expertise, and a strong focus on electric mobility, Zwiehoff plays a special role in the market for special-purpose and shunting vehicles. The company thus remains an important partner for customers who depend on tailor-made, sustainable mobility and logistics solutions.
