UK to receive new wagon type in September
The first JNA-X Box Wagon have rolled off the production line at Greenbriers plant in Romania. Leasing company Porterbrook ordered 50 vehicles of this new wagon type for GB Railfreight earlier this year. The wagons will be delivered to UK in two batches, with the first arriving in September and the second in October.
The wagon has been designed to optimise the tare weight, volume capacity and payload with the shortest wagon length over buffers for the bulk material it will transport.
With each tonne of freight transported by rail producing 76% less carbon than road haulage, the new box wagons will help to deliver a more sustainable railway, Porterbrook said. (ben)
