TCDD DH44100 was a series of six diesel-hydraulic shunters bought by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) from Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) in 1955. The units were very close to the DB Class V 65 used by Deutsche Bundesbahn. Likewise, they were a derivative of the original MaK 800 D design and the other MaK rod-coupled locomotives.
