VTG Rail and GB Railfreight sign contract for lease of additional 52 Ecofret2® triple-platform wagons


VTG Rail and GB Railfreight have signed a new contract for the lease of an additional 52 Ecofret2® triple-platform wagons. The news comes after GBRf recently announced the leasing of 32 Ecofret2® triple wagon sets, which will enter service in 2020 and 2021.

All of the new wagons will be manufactured in the UK, with operations and maintenance being managed by VTG’s teams in Birmingham and Peterborough.

The award-winning Ecofret wagons set new levels of efficiency in rail freight and will boost the service offering to GBRf’s customers, including increased TEU available per train due to the optimal length of these vehicles. 

GBRf already operates a fleet of approximately 1,400 wagons and 149 locomotives.
