For infrastructure & the public sector
Developed for the European rail system.
Interwagon is being developed with a focus on safety, interoperability, technical validation and relevant European rail requirements.
Development process
The continued development process includes:
- Technical documentation
- Brake validation
- Structural and dynamic verification
- Risk and safety assessment
- TSI-related requirements and processes
- Dialogue with qualified testing and certification bodies
- Assessment of relevant national and European requirements
Interwagon intends to work in close dialogue with rail operators, infrastructure managers, wagon keepers, technical experts and certification bodies ahead of commercial operation.
Societal relevance
Relevance to society's transport capability.
- Shifting freight from road to rail
- More efficient use of rail-connected locations
- More resilient transport corridors
- Civil preparedness and crisis logistics
- Military mobility and host nation support
- Reduced dependence on a limited number of fixed terminals
- Transport of heavy equipment critical to society
Interwagon does not replace the need for safety assessment, infrastructure capacity or regulatory approvals. The platform is being developed to be evaluated and integrated within established rail processes.
