The New Freight Cars Acquired by FS, Biofuels Industry, Are Expected to Begin Operating in April, Increasing Ethanol Freight Transport Capacity by 25%.

Announced last November, the operation focused on transporting ethanol by rail is set to materialize by April. The initiative, considered a groundbreaking business for all involved companies, namely: Rumo, Greenbrier Maxion, and FS, required about R$ 115 million in investments.

The goal of FS, a biofuels producer, is to transport 45% of production via railways located on the route between Lucas do Rio Verde (MT) and Sorriso (MT), with Paulínia (SP) as the final destination.

The company states that, in addition to cost savings in transportation, it would also result in reduced carbon emissions involved in the process, as it would decrease truck trips per year on the roads.

The cars purchased by FS are being produced by Greenbrier Maxion, a company considered the largest railway operation in South America.

They are made of low-alloy steel, with high mechanical strength and resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

According to Greenbrier Maxion, the cars provided to FS have a capacity of 105 thousand liters each, designed for upper loading and lower unloading.

Another important feature in the production of the cars is that they were developed specifically for the operational conditions of Brazilian railways, enhancing the safety and lifespan of the components involved in the operation, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

According to Luis Gustavo Vilas Boas, Sales and Marketing Director at Greenbrier Maxion, it is crucial to have a partnership among industry, operator, and user in the procurement process of project development.

“The cars were developed with cutting-edge technology, innovation, and the full expertise of the engineering field, meeting the technical specifications of FS and Rumo, providing cost reduction, energy efficiency, and productivity for the entire cycle, thus making rail freight transport more competitive and sustainable,” he expresses.
