The contract is signed: TransANT and EUROWAGON will rely on greentec steel for their newest freight cars - which is good for the environment as well as for rail transport. This choice allows approximately 3 tons of CO₂ emissions per car to be avoided. That's equivalent to the CO₂ emissions of a mid-sized vehicle traveling around 15,000 km on road.

TransANT will supply 25 60-foot light-weight freight cars to the largest independent Polish rail carpool, EUROWAGON. EUROWAGON leases its rail cars to industrial companies, railway undertakers, as well as logistics companies throughout Europe.

As Europe's newest manufacturer of modern light-weight freight cars, TransANT is sending a strong signal for the future of freight cars. With a net weight of 16.5 tons when used in intermodal transport and a length of 19.8 m, many different loads can be transported with less environmental impact. The new modular SG container wagons are constructed of high-quality voestalpine greentec steel Edition materials, which are produced with 10 % less direct CO₂ emissions.

These freight cars will allow EUROWAGON's customers to transport 20, 30 and 40 ft containers or containerized superstructures. To be ready for changing transport requirements, the TransANT car can also be fitted with modular, customized 60 ft superstructures. This increases flexibility of use.

This latest cooperation between TransANT and EUROWAGON is a step towards the sustainable development of freight transport. After all, the carbon footprint of the product encompasses its lifecyle - from manufacturing to its higher payload to lower energy consumption when in service. But perhaps most importantly, these two leading companies are setting new standards for the entire industry.
