RM Rail Certifies New Isothermal Thermos Wagon
Saransk, March 31, 2025. RM Rail, Russia’s leading freight rolling stock manufacturer, has received a compliance certificate from the Register of Certification on the Federal Railway Transport for its isothermal thermos wagon of model 16–6799.
The thermos wagon is designed to transport food and non-food cargo requiring specific temperature conditions during transit, with a minimum shelf life of 10 days. The model features a 60-ton load capacity, 138 m³ body volume, and 44.8 m² floor area. The service life has been extended to 32 years, exceeding similar models by 7 years. The running gear features a model 18–9801 bogie with a 23.5 tf axle load. The thermos wagon operates within a temperature range of -60 ˚C to +50 ˚C. The walls are insulated with polystyrene foam boards, while the doors are coated with spray-applied polyurethane foam. The entire interior surface is waterproof.
The model was developed in partnership with one of the largest perishable goods transportation operators. An agreement has been reached for the production of the first batch of wagons.
Alexander Kulikov, Deputy General Director for Sales at RM Rail:
“Isothermal rolling stock is among the most in-demand products in the railcar manufacturing market. The volume of temperature-controlled cargo continues to grow dynamically. Meanwhile, domestic manufacturers have not been mass-producing this type of rolling stock for many years. RM Rail has taken an active role in addressing the need. The 16–6799 thermos wagon is the fourth model in our isothermal line. We previously introduced the 16–1247 autonomous refrigerator wagon, the 16–1239 thermos wagon, and the 1AAA refrigerator container. Additionally, RM Rail has carried out extensive work on the development of a GOST standard for thermos wagon production in Russia and the CIS, which will serve as the foundation for development of this product.”
