VTG: first carbon-neutral maintenance workshop
In the rural town of Grossräschen in the German federal state of Brandenburg, the leasing company is investing EUR 10 million to build a sustainable workshop for the maintenance and repair of its fleet of freight wagons.
The 1,700 sqm facility will have the capacity to handle around 2,000 freight wagons per year. The project involves building a new workshop with adjacent office and warehouse space on the 65,000 sqm site, which includes around 10 km of sidings.
The workshop is due to go into service in early 2024. Work in Grossräschen will focus on intermodal wagons. VTG has had a presence at the Grossräschen facility since 2020, where it currently processes wagons that are returned when their leases expire. (ben)
