The Uerdingen design: Innovation and lightweight construction for military supplies

The lightweight tank wagon of the Uerdingen design was developed in 1939/40 especially for the war-related transportation requirements of crude oil and fuels. In cooperation with Waggonfabrik Köln-Deutz, Waggonfabrik Uerdingen created a self-supporting four-axle tank wagon that could transport large quantities of fuel thanks to its design, but was only used partially filled on certain routes due to the low axle load. After 1945, the remaining wagons were often used by mineral oil companies, while they were used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as rental cars for the petrochemical combines. In Era IV, the cars were indispensable means of transportation for the GDR economy and were used by the DR until the 1990s.
