CargoSprinter Totally Explained

Everything about Cargosprinter totally explained

The CargoSprinter is a multiple unit (or articulated) freight car; it could also be thought of as a container lorry that runs on rails. Built by the German company Windhoff, it's in effect a self-propelled flatcar for containers. It is intended to recapture some of the freight market back from road trucks, by making it economically feasible to carry small amounts of freight to the individual sidings of warehouses and businesses, without the complications and overhead of conventional locomotive-hauled trains.
The unit consists of two driving and power units, each fitted with a full width cab and two Volvo truck engines for propulsion, which operate in a push pull mode, with up to seven trailers in between. The complete train has a total power output of 4 x 265 - 1060 kilowatts and weighs 118 tons.
