Agenda • FlexCargoRail (FCR) • InnoCoupler, Automatic Central Buffer Coupling • Versatile, Efficient and Longer Wagon for European Transportation (VEL-Wagon) Helge Stuhr, 2010-05-26: Studies for the future Rail Freight Wagon
FlexCargoRail (FCR): Concept • Self-propelled, radio remote controlled freight wagons • Own electric traction for shunting movements and local distribution • Accumulator charged in the main run (loco-hauled) • Project FCR funded by BMWi from 2007-2008 Radio Accumulator Control panel Cooling unit Gearing Control panel Control system Motor Converter Helge Stuhr, 2010-05-26: Studies for the future Rail Freight Wagon

FCR: Example of a huge chemical site (I) • 40 loading sites, 500 shunting movements per day • 3 shuntig locomotives, 2 road rail vehicles Helge Stuhr, 2010-05-26: Studies for the future Rail Freight Wagon
FCR: Example of a huge chemical site (II) • Simulation of the movements of one locomotive Helge Stuhr, 2010-05-26: Studies for the future Rail Freight Wagon

FCR: Conclusion • The project FCR (2007-2008) showed the basic technical and economic feasibility • Open points: • Safe selection and deselection of the FCR-wagons by radio remote control • Homologation (for private sidings or main line?) • Qualification of the personnel for moving FCR-Wagons via radio remote control • A new project consortium strives for the funding of a second project with the aim of solving the open points and of building and testing prototypes Helge Stuhr, 2010-05-26: Studies for the future Rail Freight Wagon
