More flexibility for rail freight.

Shifting more traffic to rail and giving you what you need as logistics customers: that takes concrete solutions for wagon equipment. This is where our multifunctional modular freight wagons come in, especially for industries that rely on single wagonload transport.

The freight wagon system is a major innovation.

Our concept separates the freight loading unit from the carrier wagon. The carrier wagon's main properties, such as its length, can be configured in many different ways over its life cycle, creating new possibilities for vehicle design. Carrier wagons can be equipped with different freight loading units, which can be removed and swapped. This will enable us at DB Cargo to adapt our equipment even more quickly and individually to your needs as a customer.

A tangible and practical customer solution.

In addition to the small pre-production series of vehicles with carrier wagons and superstructures we are currently introducing to the market, in the coming months, we will develop and test various new superstructures and freight loading units and then begin series production. And we'll do it together with you, our customers. We look forward to working with you.
