UNRIVALLED EXPERTISE IN DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE FREIGHT WAGONS

«From our point of view, Wascosa stands for innovation and progress. The latest 130 m3 grain hopper wagon is a perfect example: its very low tare weight and efficient operation makes it a top product, both in terms of price and technology.»

Hajo Barth, Glencore Grain BV Wascosa has spent years working closely with customers and wagon manufacturers to develop revolutionary hopper wagons for grain transportation.

Take full advantage of the unique features of WASCOSA’s grain wagons: Larger payloads provide much higher productivity when transporting grain in bulk Faster and more efficient unloading thanks to optimized discharging hopper with extra-large openings More convenient and effective loading thanks to a continuous, corridor operable sliding roof and a larger roof opening.

«The new grain wagon excels not only through its cutting-edge technology, but also in the practical advantages for the customer. The ratio of volume to wagon length, as well as the optimized tare weight, allows for an extra wagon to be added to every train.

We were impressed by the way our partner Wascosa responded to our every requirement when it came to roof operation, test sampling, braking system, etc.

This innovative collaboration is now reflected in the wagon’s extremely efficient operation.»
