100 brand new wagons for steel transports


Polo Mercitalia, a subsidiary of Italian state-owned railways FS Italiana, has ordered 100 Shimmns freight wagons for the carriage of steel coils from Ermewa.

 

The first 25 brand new wagons will arrive at Mercitalia Rail already this week, while the last of the batch are due to be delivered in June.

 

The wagons manufactured in France are equipped with a GPs tag and a compact brake and were built to allow digital automatic coupling. The 4-axle covered 90 T wagons also feature strong hooks to secure heavy loads and make full use of train capacity. To reduce noise, the wagons use composite brake pads, also known as whispering brakes. (ben)
