Project Idea Longer loading surfaces without interruption, as well as more capable platforms with higher axle loads and with lower loading heights to increase the capacity of the freight railway transportation VEL-Wagon Dipl.-Ing. A. Carrillo Zanuy 17.10.2012

Scientific Objectives Present and future road-rail transport market Present and future wagonload transportation market in Europe Infrastructure limitations, technical and economical, to extended wagon lengths, axle loads and loading gauges Wagon enlargement possibilities, especially when it comes to length between bogie pivots, length between pivots and couplers, loading height and loading gauge for ITUs (also semitrailers) and conventional units, tare weight, heavy stresses on frame as well as dynamic and static characteristics of such wagons VEL-Wagon Dipl.-Ing. A. Carrillo Zanuy 17.10.2012

Background freight railways Drop in t-km transported by railways after 1990 and slightly decreasing during last two decades Severe drop in number of wagons employed in rail freight transportation More efficient utilization of wagons, especially intermodal wagons Longer distances of transport Data source: Eurostat and UIC 2011 VEL-Wagon Dipl.-Ing.
