Zweiweg = two way?

I think somebody was a bit overenthusiastic when translating content from the German article. The English article now contains a picture of what is described as a 'two way vehicle'. I am not entirey certain, but I think that Zweiweg (German for two way) is actually the name of the company that produces these vehicles and not an adjective that needs translating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.130.69.126 (talk) 12:25, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

You're partially correct - two-way is a little off. The German expression 'Zweiwegefahrzeug' simply means that this vehicle is not only capable of traveling on the road like a normal truck, but can also drive on rails by hydraulically lowering small 'train wheels' that keep it on track... It ain't a company name, though. 80.128.206.17 (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I added a link to road-rail vehicle, since that would be the translated term, but now the caption seems a little long.Joecycle (talk) 21:41, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
