DB Uerdingen Lightweight Tank Car

In 1939–40, the railcar factories in Cologne-Deutz and Uerdingen each developed a four-axle lightweight tank car. This development was primarily driven by the need for large-volume transport of crude oil and fuels.

To save steel, lightweight construction principles were implemented with particular rigor. Both manufacturers used self-supporting tanks, though Uerdingen additionally employed longitudinal beams made of folded profiles to absorb longitudinal compressive forces.
