Flexiwaggon offers a win–win solution

Flexiwaggon offers a win–win solution. Besides the obvious needs of society to use the railway to a higher extent for the transportation of goods, the business potentials for the railway operators and haulage companies are enormous.

Calculations show that Flexiwaggon makes it possible for the haulage companies to increase their margins by reducing the consumption of fuel, service and maintenance. When opting for the railway as the means of transport, the haulage companies can lower the capital expenses and achieve major synergies including lower costs for stock-keeping.

The main strength of Flexiwaggon is the flexibility. The design of the waggon enables:

Transports according to schedule
Fast, easy and efficient transhipments of cargo – only takes 6 minutes - driver operated
Easy to load and unload – the lorry can travel on the waggon with or without the driver
No disruption to traffic on parallel tracks
Individual loading and unloading of waggons
Access to electricity: 230/400 volt 50Hz, for cooling units or engine heaters
