TUDEMSAS plans to launch its national freight wagon in 2017 after finalizing the prototype production and certification process for mass production. The new generation freight wagon “Rgns” will be among the lightest and multifunctional wagons produced in Europe. This wagon will be used for container transportation, which can also be used for the transportation of long and flat goods such as pipes. As a fully local design, Rgns freight wagon stands out as an innovative product with 80 different freight scenario and its integrated bogie brake system.

TUDEMSAS engineers, expert team from Turkish State Railways and representatives from the contractor company participated in the test ride to evaluate the acceleration and braking distance of Talns.
