The Spanish railway infrastructure operator, Adif, and Ukrzaliznytsia will develop a pilot project using the technology for automatically adjusting the gauge of freight wagons to different tracks for western transitions, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.
The companies have signed a corresponding memorandum. The technology, previously developed by Spanish railway engineers for transitioning between 1435-1668 mm gauge, will be modified to automatically adjust the gauge of rolling stock between tracks with gauges of 1520 mm, 1435 mm, and 1668 mm.
The parties have also agreed to work together to attract funds from the European Union for implementing this project. Agreements defining specific tasks, deadlines, etc., are planned to be concluded.
