Product Features and Details
Prototype: The mid-30s led to advances in lightweight in quick succession to new generations in wagon. The introduction of welded boiler had to weight savings, which benefited from an increased payload. Was Consequently, at the end of the 30s the wheelbase increased by the classical two-axle tank car construction of 4.00 m to 4.50 m. This corresponded to the drive at the same time developed for weld-DR-wagon type, falling to its long suspension springs, which provided even at higher speeds for smooth operation. The resulting structure was built up in 1943 in very large numbers from many European Waggonfabriken - alone MAN delivered 2,250 pieces, although the company was not a classic tank car manufacturers. Apart from a few private adjusters especially the front companies of the German Empire were considered as part of the preparations for war with deliveries. These included the "WIFO" and various "Oelvereine". Unique the adjuster was already named "Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven" - these cars were the fuel supply to the submarine fleet. A total of 22 m3 and 26.5 m3 more than 10,000 of these were cars with tanks of 20 m3, built. After the war, they were scattered all over Europe and came as a private car to numerous companies in the petroleum industry. In addition to classic coats in gray and black too many flashy advertising paintings were of white and yellow (mobile) to green and blue (Texaco / Aral). The last cars were in the DR in 1989 in use.
