Innofreight's new innovative 80-foot InnoWaggon Sggns are currently being tested by PJ Messtechnik (PJM) in three main stages assessing fatigue strength, brakes, and vehicle acoustics.

Rail logistics specialist Innofreight set out to create train units that would have a lower weight but, at the same time, handle a larger load, making rail transport more economical and efficient. The entire testing took place under the auspices of PJM.

Strength tests were performed following EN 12663 standards. Static tests were performed using a mobile pressure frame. In St. Michael, near Innofreight headquarters, buffing impact tests were conducted, along with static and dynamic tests. In accordance with TSI NOI 2014/1204/EU, acoustic measurements were carried out, which examined the intensity of passing noise, the roughness of the rails, and the rates of track decay.

The project also includes two innovations. The first is a disconnect device developed by PJM. This component was used for suspension tests and proved to be lighter, smaller, and easier to control. The second is that the measuring devices are powered by energy from solar panels.

Thanks to the innovations, to which Innofreight constantly contributes, rail freight transport is strengthened. Since InnoWaggons can handle a larger load, they contribute to reducing road traffic.
