Spain's railway operator Adif has opened a new railway station at Irun, near the French border. size change system This system tests freight wagons with adjustable wheel sets It increases carrying capacity, reduces costs and shortens travel times by equipping. Trials will be carried out soon. In the province of Gipuzkoa will start.
Technological Innovation: Adjustable Wheelsets
Adif is a state-supported R&D program within patented technology designs adjustable wheelsets using the new system, allowing the cars to slide smoothly between the rails, Unloading and reloading delays will be eliminated.
Currently, experts say, In the process of approving 920 mm and 760 mm diameter axle prototypes. Ayrıca, whether the ground-based measurement switching installation is suitable for operational use they are evaluating.
Tests Continue in Cordoba
Adif, At the Cordoba test center two pieces modular size changing unit continues to test this technology on a larger scale by building Cordoba-Malaga and Cordoba-Antequera-Granada evaluates the applicability of the system on its lines.
Trials, increasing freight transport efficiency and reducing operational bottlenecks If success is achieved, this system can increase Spain's railway competitiveness by transforming cross-border logistics processes.
Innovation and Future Plans in Spanish Railways
Adif, this system Collaborates with industry partners to verify that it meets safety and performance standards.This project, In line with Spain's goals of modernising its infrastructure and improving sustainability in rail transport is seen as a step.
With new technology faster delivery times and lower operating costs This project, which can make a significant contribution to European freight transport, can strengthen economic ties and transform the logistics sector.
Tests in Irun, Demonstrating Spain's commitment to innovation and progress in its railway system, Adif's It also supports its positioning as a global player in rail transport..
