At voestalpine Track Solutions Duisburg GmbH, we have invested heavily in new rail logistics wagons to add four long rail transport units (TE) to our current fleet of ten.

Currently, a maximum of 180 m long rails are transported to construction sites in Germany, while ultra-long rails of up to 360 m are transported in neighboring countries.
