VIENNA, July 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- At the Transport Logistic 2007 RCA-Affiliate Car Rail
Logistics Presented a Worldwide Unique Wagon Concept and a New Prototype of
Wagon for Enclosed Car Transport

Within just 18 months CRL Car Rail Logistics GmbH developed a
new, worldwide unique wagon concept for car transport on two enclosed loading
levels. The RCA affiliate thereby responds to the continuously increasing
demands of the car manufacturers and to the requests for well-engineered,
enclosed wagons for car transportation. The wagon concept fulfils the number
one demand of the industry: transport protection against vandalism or theft
and environmental protection by elimination of the cars' protective layer.
The prototype of the new wagon generation (Hccrrss) was built in co-operation
with WBN Waggonbau Niesky GmbH.

Railways in the fast lane

With this innovation Rail Cargo Austria strengthens its
position as a preferred logistic partner of the automotive industry. With
access to the all-European railway system, complete logistic solutions,
customized services and high-quality transport equipment it gains a crucial
competitive advantage for its customers. Rail Cargo Austria transports over
one million new cars per year and thereby meets the highest demands.

Security by protected technologies

The newly developed Hccrrss is capable of transporting any
vehicle type from low-set sports cars to classical limousines to minivans or
sports utility vehicles (SUVs) with an actual loading length of 27 meters on
two levels. The loading length is reached by two short-hitched wagons. A new
cover for the wagon junction is used, which offers protection against dirt
and theft. For the wagon's interior a height-adjustable tire-fixing system
has been developed. Both innovations are protected technologies and create
substantially more security for the sensitive cargo.

Versatility and ease of use have priority

When developing the new wagon, particular attention was paid
to keeping the maintenance costs during the whole life span as low as
possible, furthermore to maximum loading capacity, ease of use as well as
mobility and good lighting of the interior of the wagon. The roof can be
moved and opened and provides for full overhead clearance in the loading
position and therefore allows comfortable loading and unloading. The upper
loading level and the elevating roof can be adjusted individually according
to various loading situations and transport needs. The special design of the
ramp slopes enables the transport of vehicles with very low ground clearance.
An electronic operating concept allows the control of these functions from a
central wagon position.

Innate power and transfer of knowledge

With this innovative development CRL GmbH increases its
branch-specific innate powers in the area of closed car transport. The
company is a dependable partner with knowledge of railways, maintenance,
procedures and service in connection with RCA AG's know-how and competence.
Car Rail Logistics has all relevant competences in the closed car transport
industry, from specific market knowledge and market demands to detailed
technical knowledge.
