How the modular freight wagon became the standard
Ten years ago, manufacterer Wascosa presented its first modular freight wagon. Recently, the 500th wagon was delivered. Today, the trend is firmly towards modular freight wagons, the company says, adding that this was much different ten years ago.
The company markets its wagon as the Wascosa flex freight system or ‘ffs’. It is a multi-purpose Sgmmns type wagon, which with its various superstructures for rail-based construction site logistics, will go into service with Sersa Switzerland, part of the Rhomberg Sersa Rail Group.
Rudi Hoz, Head of Customer and Market Support at Sersa Group AG (Switzerland), has some very enthusiastic words for the flex freight concept: “The flex freight system from Wascosa meets our requirements for flexible and versatile wagons in every respect. The proven innovative expertise that has been the hallmark of Wascosa in the freight wagon market for many years, makes it an ideal partner for Sersa”. Wascosa is currently delivering additional modular freight wagons to other industry sectors such as the steel and chemical industries.
