VTG Rail UK has secured a significant order from Breedon Group, a major construction materials company, for 54 new JPA powder tank wagons equipped with the innovative iWagon technology.
The state-of-the-art wagons, manufactured by Feldbinder, will be delivered in January 2026. This represents the largest order for new-build wagons featuring iWagon technology to date.
iWagon is a cutting-edge system that provides real-time data on wagon performance, enabling operators like Breedon to optimise logistics, reduce downtime, and minimise environmental impact.
Marc Hurn, Interim Managing Director of VTG Rail UK, said: “We are excited to partner with Breedon to deliver these 54 JPA wagons, which are among the most advanced in the industry. The integration of iWagon technology represents a significant leap forward in rail freight.
“By delivering real-time data on wagon performance, we’re enabling Breedon to optimise their logistics, reduce downtime, and minimise environmental impact. This investment underscores Breedon’s commitment to future-proofing their operations with cutting-edge rail solutions.”
Archie Lucas, Sales Manager at VTG Rail UK, said: “We are pleased to have worked with Breedon to meet their requirement for newly built JPA Powder Tank Wagons. The additional 54 wagons shall serve to update the Breedon fleet, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of Breedon’s supply chain remains resilient for many years to come.”
Dan Cheetham, Logistics Manager at Breedon, said: “We are pleased to build on our existing relationship with VTG to increase our fleet of JPA wagons. The adoption of iWagon is exactly the type of initiative we are keen to implement, in partnership with our suppliers, in order to improve the safety, reliability and drive efficiencies within our supply chain”.
The new JPA powder tank wagons are specifically designed for the bulk transportation of powder cement. With the addition of iWagon technology, Breedon will benefit from enhanced operational visibility, improved safety, and increased efficiency.
This partnership between VTG Rail UK and Breedon Group demonstrates the growing importance of rail freight in sustainable logistics and the potential of innovative technologies to drive industry advancements.
