Trailblazing logistics on track
Megaswing is the new freight wagon that realises a major
breakthrough in the long talked about and sought after
modal shift from road to rail. Designed by Kockums
Industrier, Europe’s premier developer of innovative freight
wagons, Megaswing is a truly trailblazing platform.

wagons. This represents a massive expansion in the rail
transport market (i.e. 100% of the trailers on European
roads – not just the present 5%). Furthermore, existing
terminals can increase their volumes and market shares by
offering an intermodal solution for all semitrailers.
Megaswing uses terminals more efficiently and in-
creases profitability. An entire train can be loaded in 30
minutes and a single wagon in less than 3. As terminal
tractors can rapidly transfer loads to the open wagon (e.g.
from a ferry or another train), intermediate storage is
unnecessary. Similarly, there is no need to use shunters –
