Longer loading surfaces without interruption, as well as more capable platforms with higher axle loads and with lower loading heights to increase the capacity of the freight railway transportation

Project Idea



Scientific Objectives


Present and future road-rail transport market

Present and future wagonload transportation market in Europe

Infrastructure limitations, technical and economical, to extended wagon lengths, axle loads and loading gauges

Wagon enlargement possibilities, especially when it comes to length between bogie pivots, length between pivots and couplers, loading height and loading gauge for ITUs (also semitrailers) and conventional units, tare weight, heavy stresses on frame as well as dynamic and static characteristics of such wagons

Background freight railways


Drop in t-km transported by railways after 1990 and slightly decreasing during last two decades

Severe drop in number of wagons employed in rail freight transportation More efficient utilization of wagons, especially intermodal wagons Longer distances of transport
