Russian Federation : UniCredit Leasing awards contract to United Wagon Co subsidiary TikhvinSpetsMash to supply 50 timber wagons
Publish Date : 10-Jul-2019
UniCredit Leasing has awarded a contract to United Wagon Co subsidiary TikhvinSpetsMash to supply 50 timber wagons for use by Luzales, one of the largest logging companies in the Komi Republic.
Delivery of an initial 30 Type 13-6895 cars will be by the end of the third quarter of 2019, with 20 Type 13-6852-02 cars to follow during the first half of 2020. Both types have 25 tonne axle load bogies. The Type 13-6895 has a capacity of 725 tonnes along with loading length of 182 m. It is expected to carry a load up to 40% greater than older designs while remaining within a short wheelbase tariff. The 13-6852-02 with a loading length of 122 m has a capacity of 74 tonnes.
Desifn of both types mainly aims at significantly minimizing the amount of unused space and protect the load from damage. The centre sill and side beams facilitate inspection and maintenance, and the floor facilitates convenient cleaning of the platform and to prevent freight residues from falling onto the track.
Luzales CEO Valentin Rozhok said, Our company is working hard to introduce state-of-the-art equipment and technologies into its production processes. Putting this innovative policy into action allows the company to be at the forefront of the industry in the Komi Republic. Without a doubt, the new fleet of UWC platforms will strengthen further our position in the market.
