SBB Cargo automates complete domestic freight transport with Voith CargoFlex
- SBB Cargo orders a further 206 wagon couplers and 16 hybrid couplers for combined freight traffic
- The order is intended to automate all domestic freight transport starting June 2021
The CargoFlex from Voith is optimally adapted to the high loads in rail freight traffic and, thanks to its light yet robust design, is created for exceptional reliability and a long service life. Furthermore, the coupler is compatible with the UIC530 directive and ensures that no changes to the wagon structure are necessary. The whole system is complemented by a modular concept for upgrades with existing and future modules as required, for example, automatic uncoupling.
