Innovations
Wascosa is known for seeking new approaches both within and outside the industry. Our team is active in international associations and project groups, working together to develop solutions for the future of rail freight transport. It is this mindset that makes us open, transparent and adaptable.
Flexibility on rails
flex freight system®
In 2009, Wascosa introduced the award-winning flex freight system®. As the name suggests: It is a modular concept that enables the flexible use of a container flat wagon with various superstructures. This makes the use of the basic wagon more flexible, productive and cost-efficient.

The future belongs to modular systems. The removable superstructure optimises the number of rail wagons required and helps to keep rail transport competitive.
Safety and cost efficiency
FANPS 2.0 Radio-controlled ballast wagon
In collaboration with customers and partners, Wascosa has developed a radio-controlled ballast wagon. Rail operators control the position of the six discharge drums and the amount of ballast that is released from the three hoppers via remote control. This enables more precise and flexible unloading of materials. The soundproofing reduces noise during the unloading process. The 360° lighting on the wagon ensures optimal illumination of the work area, which is particularly useful during night operations. The anti-dust water spray system also serves to protect the operating personnel.

We opted for Wascosa because the precise dosing, remote control and integrated lighting allow us to save costs and protect the environment and health at the same time.
Safety for tank wagons
WASCOSA safe tank car®
Working closely with customers and manufacturers Wascosa has developed a tank wagon that sets new standards in safety and wagon design. In addition to its enhanced safety features, the safe tank car offers far greater productivity thanks to weight savings. Despite the additional, modern safety features, the wagon is equipped with an enlarged tank optimised for acrylonitrile with a volume of 93m³. Other features include derailment detectors, crash buffers, an anti-climbing device, head shields and telematics.

We've intentionally chosen to exceed legal requirements and to set a new safety standard for all rail transport.
Efficiency in grain transport
95m³ Grain wagon
The 95m³ Tagnpps grain wagon from Wascosa offers an optimised payload of 70.1 tonnes. This high load capacity makes the freight wagon ideal for transporting high density products such as grain. Loading and unloading is made easier thanks to the wagon's 800 mm (rather than 450 mm) wide doors.
With its roof that can be operated from the ground this is a wagon which is much simpler to use. In addition, the optional sampler unit allows for quick and easy collection of cargo samples, which means optimal quality control.

Wascosa has optimised the 300 bulk freight wagons exactly according to our needs. We can now put together shorter trains and thus serve even more customers with 2,500-tonne-gross trains.
