Lithuanian rail freight operator LTG Cargo has purchased 200 new gondola wagons for bulk cargo domestic transportation. Manufactured by Ukrainian LLC TAS Dniprovagonmash for a total investment of 12.7 million euros, the first units will be delivered between February and April 2025.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe new wagons will mainly transport bulk and other weather-resistant cargo, such as dolomite and granite crushed stone used in the construction industry, and metals\u201d, said the company. They will also create additional capacity for 0.7 million tons of cargo, according to the company\u2019s CEO Egl\u0117 \u0160im\u0117.<\/p>\n

These kinds of transport services made up over 20 per cent of LTG Cargo\u2019s total transport share in 2023 and, with the construction of Rail Baltica, the demand is expected to grow. The new 200 gondola wagons are not the only fleet upgrade undertaken by the company. Last year, it placed an order for 500 wagons suitable for grain transportation, with 300 to be delivered before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
