4-axle tank wagon

From 1941, around 1400 lightweight bogie tank cars of the Deutz type were built and stopped by the DRG. In World War II, however, huge quantities of fuel were to be transported from Germany to the many front sections. For this reason, tests on a new unit bogie wagon were built and delivered by various manufacturers from 1942 onwards.

As a result, from 1943 to 1947, approximately 1300 cars of this unit type with 480 hl and 630 hl tank capacity were produced in series, which are similar in many respects to the Deutz type. The last cars were delivered directly to the Deutsche Shell. After the end of the war, both models were in use throughout Europe and went into era V. Abroad they are still partly driving today, in Germany they are still to be found, for example, as a company car or water wagon.
