en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 29, 600 BNX70-type shared flatcars developed by CRRC Qiqihar Co., Ltd. in collaboration with China Railway Special Cargo Services Co., Ltd. were successfully delivered and will soon be dispatched to the China-Laos Railway for operation. The deployment of these vehicles will effectively strengthen the equipment support capability of the "Lancang-Mekong Express" international freight train, boosting the efficiency of cross-border cold chain transportation.
As a new-generation product in China's railway flatcar sector, the BNX70-type shared flatcar boasts strong transport adaptability, accommodating various container loading requirements and meeting diverse cold chain logistics needs, such as externally mounted generator-type or centrally powered refrigerated containers. Additionally, the vehicle is suitable for transporting steel, automobiles, large concrete beams, and other goods, achieving "multi-purpose use" and making dispatching organization and loading operations more efficient and convenient.
In terms of technical design, the BNX70-type shared flatcar adopts a concept combining a universal car body with modular functions, utilizing mature vehicle structures with strong parts interchangeability and high standardization levels, effectively reducing maintenance frequency and significantly improving lifecycle operational benefits. For refrigerated container transport scenarios, the vehicle features a newly added modular configuration for centralized power supply lines, which can be installed as needed based on actual operations, flexibly adding or removing supporting equipment to quickly adapt to cold chain power supply conditions, greatly enhancing the vehicle's adaptability and flexibility. Its onboard power supply system operates stably and reliably, forming a series of standardized power supply equipment systems for China's railway flatcar transport of refrigerated containers.
With the rapid development of China's cold chain multimodal transport, the demand for refrigerated container transportation is increasingly robust. The company initiated the development and batch production of the BNX70-type shared flatcar in 2024, and to date, cumulative deliveries have reached 1,000 units. The batch deployment of this vehicle type will further solidify the foundation of China's railway refrigerated container transport equipment, effectively drive technological iteration in railway freight cars and smart cold chain transport upgrades, providing solid transport support for efficient, safe, and green cold chain cargo movement.
