TO BE MORE EFFICIENT THAN AMERICAN RAILROADS? We might not understand tunnel enlargement or gravel-filled tracks, but we excel at developing and manufacturing wheels. The 3rd generation of stress optimized wheels from the BONATRANS GROUP a.s. design school, specifically the BONA313 type, offers: - The lowest weight (313 kg) on the market among wheels for the axle load 25 t. - Enhanced transport efficiency through increased payload capacity of a wagon, resulting in lower transportation costs for goods. - Long service life due to the innovative BONASTAR®ER7 steel grade in accordance with EN13262. - Optimal wheels for railway wagons equipped with K, L, LL composite brake blocks. - Reduced carbon footprint due to lower weight, energy consumption and extended lifespan. The wheels can be supplied as BONA320 type with the highly efficient BONASILENCE®R noise damper for further reduction of wheel rolling and squealing noise. The BONA320 wheel won by a landslide in the international project of the German Ministry for Transport and Infrastructure as the most silent wheel on the market. The path to higher efficiency in freight transport has already been chosen by: Wascosa AG, GATX Rail Europe, TATRAVAGONKA a.s., WagonyŚwidnica sp. z o.o., Deutsche Bahn CARGO, VTG, Millet Rail, DUROC RAIL AB.

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🚂. Absolutely astonishing, It handles 800,000 passengers a day. A great challenge for the maintenance teams? there's nothing to worry about, everything is robotised with an innate basic mastery. Managing the logistics of a large station like this is not easy, and requires a very powerful organisation to manage such a high rate of activity.

Why do most Europeans prefer combining rail and road transport (#combinedtransport) over using only heavier trucks and #megatrucks ? #Safety is certainly one reason ... Let's make sure that the #WeightsAndDimensionsDirective does not undermine the EU’s ambition to decarbonise the transport sector.

#French infrastructure manager (IM) SNCF Réseau claims there has been a marked improvement in customer service levels in recent years. The volume of freight train paths on offer increased by 72 per cent since 2020. Moreover, the company is now able to respond to 89 per cent of its customers’ requests with an improved allocation of train paths, whereas in 2013 the figure did not exceed 70 per cent.

BOGIES Train bogie changes are essential for maintaining, upgrading, and adapting railway vehicles to different operational needs. Here’s a quick look at why they matter: 🔧 Maintenance & Safety: Regular bogie changes ensure trains remain safe and reliable by replacing worn-out wheelsets and suspension systems. 🚉 Gauge Adaptation: Trains often travel across regions with different rail gauges. Bogie changes, like those on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enable seamless transitions between these networks. 🚀 Upgrades & Modernization: Swapping out older bogies for modern ones enhances ride quality, reduces noise, and improves energy efficiency. 🔄 Operational Flexibility: Different routes require specific bogie characteristics. High-speed, freight, and commuter trains each have unique needs that are met through tailored bogie changes. 🏭 Specialized Facilities: These changes occur in specialized facilities equipped to handle the complex and precise work involved. #Railway #Transportation #Innovation #Rollingstock
