“This new development of the anti-climbing system is yet a new means to obtain even greater safety in rail goods traffic”, explains Dr. Heiko Fischer, Chairman of the Executive Board of VTG Aktiengesellschaft, and adds: ”Together with our customers we will decide which wagons and goods are best suited for this technology.”
In the event of a collision, the new anti-climbing system protects the tank floor and the tank itself from damage. This distinctly increases the passive safety of transports. With this technology, VTG makes a valuable contribution to the implementation of the RID, the Regulations governing the international carriage of dangerous goods by rail.
