200 hopper cars to transport fertilizer


In Russia, United Wagon Company (UWC) and chemical producer Togliattiazot (TOAZ) have signed a contract on the supply of 200 hopper cars for the transportation of mineral fertilizers. The new generation cars will be shipped to the customer by the end of May this year.

 

This is the chemical enterprise’s first acquisition of new generation cars, said freight car manufacturer UWC. The ordered model has an increased 25 t axle load that means the car can be loaded to its full capacity of 76 t, which is an extra 6 t compared with its most common market competitors.

 

The hopper car’s body design includes a special dual-component coating, which offers reliable protection for the car from the corrosive effects of the cargo. (ben)
