Research and Production Corporation "United Wagon Company" and Gazpromtrans have signed an agreement for the supply of 120 tank cars for transportation of molten sulfur within the framework of the International Transport and Logistics Forum PRO//Motion.1520, held in Sochi, the parties informed. The parties already signed a contract for delivery of 60 tank cars this August. Total value of the 180 tank cars under the two contracts is RUB 1.8 billion. UWC and Gazpromtrans signed the two contracts based on results of open competitive procedures carried out by Gazprom. Under the contracts, the rolling stock will be delivered in two batches, of 60 and 120 units, by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Gazpromtrans already has 112 tank cars manufactured by UWC in service in its rolling stock fleet. Tank car model 15-6913 runs on 25 t axle load bogies. It was designed in close cooperation with major chemical holdings, which helped to incorporate optimal features: tank volume was increased to 44 m3 and loading capacity was raised to 72 tons. The new model can carry an extra 9 tons of cargo per tank car compared with analogues on 23.5 t axle load bogies (assuming density of 1.8 t/m3). Life-cycle cost is reduced due to increase of the car's overhaul mileage up to 1 million km (or 8 years). The innovative tank cars have a service life of 32 years each.
