The prototype – Zas-type mineral oil tank car

In the 1970s, cooperation with France led to a wave of new construction of modern tank cars based on production needs in the GDR. The car shown here has a welded chassis made of St 52-3 steel, is designed for a maximum wheel set load of 20 metric tons, and features a five-section steel tank with a volume of 85,150 liters. The cars were primarily used to transport fuels such as gasoline and diesel.

Ermewa – a modern leasing partner in freight transport

Today, many of these cars are part of the fleet of Ermewa, one of Europe’s leading freight car leasing companies. The models feature realistic, up-to-date markings, accurately reflecting the current fleet on European railways.

Suitable for use in block trains or mixed traffic

Perfectly suited for operating modern tank car trains. Combining them with other Zas, Zacens, or Zags cars offers a realistic recreation of international petroleum product transport. Suitable locomotives include the BR 185, BR 189, Vectron, or Traxx locomotives.
