VTG presents new compressed gas tank wagon with increased capacity
Evonik takes over the first compressed gas tank wagons of y newly developed type of the wagon manufacturing plant Graaff from VTG Aktiengesellschaft
The Hamburg wagon hire and rail logistics company VTG Aktiengesellschaft delivered the first batch of its newly developed compressed gas tank wagon to its customer Evonik. “This wagon, called ‘Volume112’ is an important new development, the result of a collaboration between the wagon manufacturing plant Graaff and VTG“, the company writes in a press release. CEO Heiko Fischer wants to rejuvenate their fleet of around 50,000 units with this new wagon model. Evonik uses the wagons to transport various gases and enjoys the benefit of much higher volume compared with the previous wagon. The wagon, with the same length (18 m over buffers), has been successfully designed to provide a capacity off 112 cubic meters. This means that the cargo weight can be better utilized in the case of many compressed gases. Previously, this wagon type normally had a capacity of 110 cubic meters. Quelle: LogEastics |
