DB Cargo to Introduce Tanoos 2.0 Wagons for Aggressive Cargo

In Q3 2025, DB Cargo will begin operating new Tanoos 2.0 wagons designed for the transportation of corrosion-prone cargo. This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

The project is a result of collaboration between DB Cargo, K+S, Wascosa, and Greenbrier, which started in 2022. Their goal was to develop wagons resistant to the corrosive nature of large-volume mineral cargo.

DB Cargo and K+S developed the technical specifications based on the original Tanoos design. Greenbrier is in charge of manufacturing, while Wascosa prepared the leasing solutions.

The company plans to lease up to 650 wagons. Over a 10-year period, these wagons are expected to transport over 70 million tons of K+S products.

Technical Advantages of New DB Cargo Wagons

The Tanoos 2.0 wagons feature a frame shortened by 400 mm, which reduces tare weight by 1.5 tons. The usable volume has increased by 3 m³ to reach 78 m³.

Payload capacity stands at 68 tons. Corrosion resistance is ensured through the use of stainless steel components. In addition, unloading has been optimized with enhanced technical solutions.

DB Cargo Invests in Reliable and Efficient Logistics

Upgrading the fleet will help reduce costs, improve turnaround times, and increase shipment volumes. This is crucial when handling chemically aggressive materials.

By introducing these wagons, DB Cargo strengthens its logistics chain and reaffirms its commitment to technological innovation in freight transportation.
