Axiom Rail Freight, part of Wabtec UK, has won a major contract for the supply and manufacture of its TF25 bogies.
The deal, worth £8.2 million, will see the business provide bogies to Greenbrier Europe in Romania for two 102T Box Wagon projects. They will be operated in the UK upon completion in 2022.
The deal coincides with the 25th anniversary of the introduction and initial testing of the TF25 bogie — which has since become a class leading bogie of choice for many customers.
Nearly 4,000 wagons in the UK have the TF25 fitted to them, whether it is a box, hopper or tank wagon.
Greenbrier has been a huge advocate of the TF25 bogie and other products within Axiom Rail Freight’s portfolio, having built over 2,800 wagons for the UK market that utilise the TF25.
Jonathan Lowden, director, bogie systems, at Webtec UK, said: “Working with Greenbrier for over 20 years has been a pleasure. Axiom Rail Freight appreciates the continued collaboration and the joint effort to introduce innovative wagons into the UK market, long may the relationship continue”.
