On 1 October 2018, Wascosa AG, the Swiss railway wagon leasing company, and the listed Aves One AG, an investor in logistics assets closed the acquisition of 4,400 freight wagons from NACCO, a subsidiary of CIT Group. In addition to taking over operations and wagon leasing contracts, Wascosa will also assume responsibility for NACCO GmbH operations in Hamburg. The remaining 11,000 freight cars will remain with the NACCO Group, which in turn will be taken over by VTG AG, one of the leading wagon leasing and rail logistics companies in Europe.
