<p>A significant milestone has been reached in Porterbrook’s partnership with GB Railfreight and Greenbrier as the prototype for the new Greenbrier ’60 intermodal twin wagon is fully assembled in Poland. </p>
<p>This twin container wagon type (FEA-G) is a first of its kind for the UK rail freight market. It will allow for a higher volume of freight to be transported on each rail journey, enabling GBRf to increase its intermodal freight capacity. </p>
<p>With each tonne of freight transported by rail producing 76% less carbon than road haulage, the new wagons will support the Green Recovery and Porterbrook’s mission to deliver a more sustainable railway. </p>
<p>The full production run for 100 twin wagons is anticipated to start from July onwards, becoming operational towards the end of 2022 following delivery into London Wembley. </p>
