Rail & wagon building - freight wagon

Strong steel for ambitious targets

Do you use our high strength steels for your high-performing gondola freight wagons?

If yes, by using our Amstrong® 420MC, Amstrong® 500MC and Amstrong® Ultra 700MC, you will be able to reach following objectives:

  • Up to 17% tare (empty) weight reduction
  • More than 40% load volume increase
  • Reduced carbon footprint
  • High damage resistance during (un)loading operations

A sustainable solution for a greener transport

In general, the train is already one of the most environmentally-friendly means of transport.

But, reaching a lower tare for a higher capacity means more efficient, much greener transport. The newly developed solution will lead to a reduction of around 40% in CO2-equivalent emissions per tonne of goods transported.

Excellent protection against damage

Tests have shown that a back panel of a train wagon designed with ArcelorMittal's Amstrong® Ultra 700MC significantly resists to damage. Today, even years after the production, no damage at all has occurred, neither to the panel nor to the welds.
