Ermewa, a European leader in freight wagon hire, has the largest fleet of grain wagons in Europe and offers its customers ever more efficient rail equipment for transporting agricultural products.
Founded in 1949, Compagnie de Transport de Céréales (CTC), then Ermewa, has been providing freight forwarders and cooperatives with wagons dedicated to the transport of grain for almost 60 years.
We have a wide range of wagons available for hire for the transport of cereals with 2 or 3 hoppers, controlled axial unloading, with a capacity of 95 to 103 m3. All our wagons comply with the latest European legislation in force, i.e. STI WAG, STI Noise, TEN GE.
Hopper wagons offer a high load capacity. Rail transport is an efficient and more economical option for moving large quantities of cereals over long distances. This contributes to economies of scale, reducing unit transport costs for each ton of grain loaded.
Freight wagons can be adapted to carry different quantities and types of grain, offering flexibility to suit the specific needs of the shipper.
Loading and unloading of grain are simplified with the use of bulk wagons, reducing the frequency of handling. This minimises the risk of damage to the grain and encourages this mode of transport.
Cereals are sensitive to weather, moisture and other environmental conditions. Wagons offer physical protection against these elements, helping to preserve the quality of grain during transport.
With its low CO² emissions, rail transport is a mode of transport that contributes to more sustainable practices for the environment.
