Smart solution for railfreight
The German leasing company VTG is equipping container wagons and double pocket wagons with the SWS PowerBox and thus expanding its range for the transport of temperature-controlled goods by rail.
The system enables an autonomous and eco-friendly power supply for cooling or heating loading units. A hydraulic pump attached to the wheelset with a connected generator generates electricity during the journey.
This can be used to optimally temper reefer containers, swap bodies and tank containers as well as refrigerated semi-trailers for shipping fruit, vegetables, meat, fish or medicines. The system was developed by the Austrian technology company SWS Power Solutions. (ben)
