The third day of the international trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management, transport logistic, wrapped up successfully.

With 127,000 square meters of exhibition space spread over ten halls and outdoor areas, the event has been more international and expansive than ever before.
Day three of the transport logistic 2023 trade fair in Munich saw Siemens Mobility and FS Italiane Group, alongside its subsidiary TX Logistik AG, sign a €300 million contract for the delivery and 15-year service of 40 Vectron locomotives. These digitally connected locomotives, set for deployment in freight transport across five countries on the Rhine-Alps corridor, are designed for predictive maintenance with the Railigent X application, ensuring high reliability and optimal vehicle availability.

Another highlight of the day was the signing of a contract between Innofreight and K+S for the delivery of an additional 60 2×40 ft InnoWaggons and 120 SurfaceWaterTanks.

The deal underscores the rising demand for Innofreight's customized SurfaceWaterTanks, which are optimized for capacity payload per double wagon. Innofreight also announced its investment in the expansion of a professional wagon workshop in Vacha, Germany, near the K+S plant Werra, to facilitate the maintenance of the wagons and containers.
