umetec GmbH manufactured special construction parts for new automobile transport train wagons for the “Blue AUTOZUG Sylt”. The blue-painted AUTOZUG Sylt ensures a well-scheduled connection from the North Sea island to the mainland – quiet, fuel-efficient and reliable.
In summer 2019, RDC AUTOZUG Sylt GmbH commissioned newly built automotive industry transport train wagons, which it realised in cooperation with Kompetenznetz Rail Berlin-Brandenburg (KNRBB) GmbH.
The most important innovation was that, thanks to the new transport vehicles, AUTOZUG Sylt can now transport not only cars and vans, but also motorhomes, heavy trucks and coaches, among other things. The blue AUTOZUG Sylt thus provides important infrastructure for the economy and tourism.
As a partner of KNRBB GmbH, umetec GmbH Stahlbau produced several special designs for the AUTOZUG:
- Delivery of movable and rigid side walls, platform elements, as well as emergency ladders for a total of 36 wagons. Including plastic coverings, screw connections, galvanising and painting.
- welding assemblies specially manufactured for the railway industry, certified according to EN 15085-2 (Railway applications I Welding of railway vehicles and components)
