On the eve of its birthday, Uralvagonzavod has delivered another railway train with armored vehicles to the military. The Russian Armed Forces have received new T-90M Proryv and T-72B3M with additional protection from the tank manufacturer.
It was the first time that the special vehicles delivered to the customer on the eve of the memorable date had been loaded on 13-192-01 type flat wagon designed by Urals Rail Car Design Bureau and manufactured by Uralvagonzavod. Two large-scale equivalent operations have been run at the factory in Nizhny Tagil over more than 80 years: freight rolling stock and battle tanks and special vehicles. Uralvagonzavod has particular achievements in each of these business areas. Thus, UVZ has produced about 1.2 million wagons since 1936, and more than 100,000 battle tanks have rolled off the legendary tank conveyor since 1941, that is an absolute world record in tank manufacturing.
Despite the special challenges facing the Nizhny-Tagil-based company team in the special military operation conditions, production of freight wagons is continued. 13-192-01 flat wagon is the main rolling stock product in UVZ’s order portfolio. It is a general-purpose wagon designed to carry long-length, single-piece, packaged and bulk goods, timber and steelworks, though is has been primarily designed to carry tracked and wheeled military vehicles. This product has wood flooring and folding sides. The wagon can carry vehicles weighing up to 65 tons. In addition, installation fittings are available on 13-192-01 flat wagon making it suitable for placement of 20’ and 40’ containers.
