The wagon is equipped with an automated tarp system that protects the cargo from precipitation. This feature simplifies logistics in adverse weather and speeds up loading operations.

The second model, Tanoos 2.0 hopper, was developed with U.S.-based Greenbrier and is intended for the transport of bulk corrosive materials. German operator DB Cargo and fertilizer producer K+S are the main customers.

The redesigned frame is 40 cm shorter, reducing the wagon’s weight by 1.5 tons. At the same time, the body volume increased to 78 m³ while maintaining a load capacity of 68 tons.

DB Cargo signed an agreement to lease up to 650 Tanoos 2.0 wagons. Operations are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2025.

As both projects were implemented with leading industry players, Wascosa is reinforcing its position in the specialized rolling stock segment.

The company continues to offer tailored solutions that meet modern logistics and environmental standards.
