TÜDEMSAŞ will take the domestic freight car to rails on 2017

TÜDEMSAŞ will put the domestic freight wagon on the tracks in 2017: TÜDEMSAŞ General Manager Yıldıray Koçarslan said, “The integrated bogie braking system will be used in the Sggmrss type three bogie container transport wagon, which will be produced this year.
Of Turkey in the coming years, producing and exporting railway technology to countries in need of development in order to bring the country to a situation 'National Train Project' takes work. Turkey Railway Machines Industry (TÜDEMSAŞ) is also part of the project 'a new generation of national freight cars' are operating in. Stating that they are planning to put the domestic freight car on the rails in 2017, TÜDEMSAŞ General Manager Yıldıray Koçarslan said, “The integrated bogie brake system will be used in the Sggmrss type three bogie container transport wagon this year. We aim to make the container transport wagon to be produced in TÜDEMSAŞ ready for mass production in 2017 by completing prototype production and certification. ”
R & D activities by offering they make innovative products to market, to be more active in the sector targeted to the buyer stating Yildiray Koçarsl, "Turkey, taking into account the condition of the ground area boxcar in the rail network, of the changing and evolving needs of the sector, giving priority to the production of new and innovative cars. We aim to be more effective in the sector with our R&D studies. ” Expressing the necessity of reducing noise in freight wagons produced in accordance with TSI conditions, Koçarslan stated that K type composite sabots should be used in the braking system, “Integrated bogie brake technology, which has an important place in reducing the wagon's tare, is more expensive than conventional braking systems. However, with the application of the technology in question to Y25 type bogies, we calculated that the tare of the container transport wagon would decrease by about 2 tons. We anticipate that a profitable 2-ton narrower wagon can make a remarkable profit for the entire lifetime. ”
Yıldıray Koçarslan emphasized that it is aimed to increase the competition in rail freight with the innovative freight wagons that will emerge with the combination of old and new technologies. evaluated. It seems that it will be possible to create a brand that is preferred by logistics companies in the near future with modern wagons that have a low noise level, tare and life cycle costs, so they are more sustainable in terms of environment, have a high load-bearing capacity, have a long economic life, have advanced logistics capabilities. ”
"TSI, it has become mandatory in Turkey"
Trans-European Railway (TEN) for mutual operation of running rail vehicles in a network representing the technical criteria set forth Mutual Operating Technical Specifications of the (TSI) indicating that it has become imperative by 2015 in Turkey Yildiray Koçarsl this context, the certification process initiated in TÜDEMSAŞ, RGNs and has been completed for Sgns type container transport wagons. Koçarslan stated that Rgns, the new generation freight wagon included in the company's production program, is among the lightest and multi-purpose wagons in Europe with its tare of 20.5 tons and continued: “As long as it is possible to transport by container, long and flat products, It has been designed to carry very different loads such as pipes. Rgns type wagon, which is a completely national design, is an innovative product with 80 different loading scenarios and integrated bogie brake system. Sgns, another new generation freight wagon produced by the company, stands out with its lightness of 17.4 tons. ”
“New generation wagons reduce operating costs”
saying that the operating life of a wagon in Turkey an average of 40 years Koçarsl, "Turkey with a wagon of the same type operating in the rail network, this newly developed cars, when compared in terms of operations, during the operating life are amortized itself an average of six times. One of the important elements in reducing the wagon's tare is the brake system integrated into the bogie. Although this system is more expensive than conventional brake systems, it is very easy to maintain and does not require maintenance for many years as it is in the form of a closed box. ”
Stating that noise reduction is also among the important criteria in freight wagons produced according to TSI, Yıldıray Koçarslan said, “For this reason, K-type composite sabos are used in the braking system of freight wagons produced according to TSI. TSI certification process continues for TÜDEMSAŞ, which increases its quality standards with the new generation products it develops, for the closed ore wagon (Talns) and the heated cistern wagon (Zacens), which will be produced in the second half of this year ”.
