Brado Logística introduces double stack train wagons to transport containers

Brado Logística, owned by Rumo, is to start using Brazil’s first double stack train wagons. With the ability to stack two 40-foot containers or two 20-foot containers and one 40-foot container, these wagons will be used along the rail link between Sumaré (SP) and Rondonópolis (MT), which comprises the Paulista and North administered by Rumo. The company invested R$30m in acquiring 74 wagons, which can carry any type of cargo since they support three types of containers: dry, reefer and isotank.

The wagons will allow capacity along the Sumaré-Rondonópolis stretch increase by around 40%. The model enables a more sustainable operation, with significant gains in productivity and profitability, transporting more containers on the same train and reducing operating costs and, consequently, freight costs. The double stack are manufactured by American company Greenbrier Maxion, which has Brazilian headquarters in Hortolândia, in São Paulo State.
