Research & Development (R&D)

 

Promotion is the target…

The research and design (R&D) department  was launched in 1992 in order to meet the needs of the company for promotion of new technologies and developing of current technologies.

wagon pars is developing products for sale in local and international markets. this is achieved through establishing a project to develop the products and by mounting a marketing campaign . R&D can support for developing right products, avoiding time and cost overruns, and avoiding market problems. Success in R&D in getting the right product to market on time to exploit its potential provides a stong stimulus for a successful enterprise. R&D activities in wagon pars co can be classified in promotion of new technoloogies and products , optimization and upgrading of the company's products including bogies and wagons and reaping the company's needs for marketing and exportation .

The most advanced software for technical and engineering computation are used to design the company's new products, and it also enjoys facilities and equipment for static and dynamic tests of different types of freight wagons and coaches.

Some of the on going R&D projects are as follows:

measuring of interactive forces between wheel and rail and modification of wu83 bogies

  • Design of freight bogie for 22.5 ton axle load.

  • Design of pressurized tank wagon.

  • Study and design of rail bus.

  • Study and design of convertor for rail cars.

  • Design of covered wagon for sudan railways.
