German rolling stock company VTG is introducing 200 new T4000 pocket wagons suitable for the Iberian gauge, and the first batch will be delivered in September. These wagons will be equipped with VEGA’s roadrailLink (r2L) system to handle non-cranable trailers.
The new wagons, as Carlos Omaña, Director of Operations for VTG in Spain, said, aim at improving international rail transport from Spain. Up until now, international services are possible only through tracks equipped with standard gauge such as high-speed lines. As Omaña pointed out in an interview with El Mercantil on 6 June, connections would prioritise facilities where both gauges are present. This way, the goods can travel from Spain via France on the TEN-T Mediterranean and Atlantic Corridors. Read more
