Welcome

MAD Logistics| Fast & direct

We transport biodiesel and diesel in order to optimize rail logistics. M.A.D. Logistics sells transport services from tank farms to tank farms. We have been relying on rail transport to guarantee climate-neutral transport for years. Since January 2019, rail transports have been carried out in cooperation with the young and dynamic BSAS EisenbahnVerkehrs GmbH & Co.KG from Mühlsen, Germany, to increase quantities while delivering just-in-time (http://www.bsas-evg.de/). Our main market area extends over Germany and Austria.

We continue to live up to our promise "modern - alternative – direct": The first of two locomotives which we have bought for boiler transportation makes us largely autonomous. The EURODUAL is manufactured by Stadler and can be powered by both electricity and diesel. Therefore, we can also use routes without an overhead line for the train.

“We believe in biodiesel and with this investment we can prove once again that we do everything we can to not just meet our customers' requirements, but to exceed them. We deliver green mobility and naturally,

we do this with the cleanest possible transport.”

Dual locomotive

With its own dual locomotive, M.A.D Logistik can act quickly and independently. Cross-border transport can also be offered without any problems. This means, that railway lines which are not electrified can also be operated. Furthermore, our locomotive can be operated the last mile to our customers' tank farm with its own equipment and staff, even without time-consuming coupling and other interface problems. A dual locomotive combines two full-size locomotives in one vehicle because it has two different drives.

It is a real electric locomotive that runs on electricity from the overhead line. For routes with no overhead line, the dual-mode locomotive also has a low-emission diesel engine on board, making it completely independent. In order to make the locomotive recognizable as a vehicle from M.A.D, it is designed lavishly. The graphic designer Gudrun Geiblinger (http://geiblinger.at), who is well-known not only among experts, is responsible for this. She has already designed locomotives graphically for ÖBB, Hamburger Hafenbahn and other transport companies.

Another locomotive of the same design has already been ordered and is expected to start operating in autumn 2020.

Why M.A.D. Logistics?

With its own dual locomotive, M.A.D Logistik can act quickly and independently. Cross-border transport can also be offered without any problems.

What is a dual locomotive?

The dual locomotive or last mile locomotive has two drives. A dual locomotive combines two full-fledged locomotives in one vehicle. As with a conventional electric locomotive, the power is supplied by the overhead line. The last mile locomotive simply switches to the auxiliary drive on sections of the route without an overhead line. Last mile locomotives can make an optimal use of the e-infrastructure. When there is an overhead line, they run on electricity. Only on short sections without power supply - often the first and last kilometers – it is possible to switch to the internal combustion engine. The diesel generator generates electricity for the drive on lines without overhead lines and bridges electrification gaps in the line network. With dual-mode locomotives, journeys with diesel under the overhead line can be avoided. So, the e-infrastructure can be used to the maximum.

How is the dual locomotive driven?

The dual locomotive (hybrid) is powered by electricity and diesel. As with a conventional electric locomotive, the power is supplied by the overhead line. Dual-mode locomotives have high traction power on six axles in both drive modes (6,150 kW for electricity and 2,800 kW for diesel drive) and reach a maximum speed of 160 km / h. The total load to be pulled can be increased from 1,300 to 1,700 tons per train. The EURODUAL meets all the requirements of the TSI and the European emission limit values of level IIIB.

What about lines without an overhead line?

The last mile locomotive simply switches to the auxiliary drive on sections of the route without an overhead line.

Wagons

We don't just focus on the locomotives, but also optimize the wagons: In June 2020, the previously rented, conventional designed, rust-prone wagons were replaced by 50 of our own aluminum tank wagons of the type ZACNS BTAN 95.4-1 RID by Feldbinder. These wagons are approved according to RID, TSI freight wagons and TSI noise and achieve above-average payloads by equipping the wagons with innovative CFCB compact brake modules. With this equipment we can increase the loading quantities from 60 to 72 tons per wagon. Additionally, the wagons also offer easy-to-clean containers, lines and outlets.

Through the use of derailment detectors, the wagons meet the highest safety requirements while the GPS monitoring enables tracking on the route and exact prediction of arrival times. The Upper Austrian artists Gudrun Geiblinger and Erwin Kastner are in charge of the design of the tank wagons.

What are the advantages of aluminum tank wagons?

Why aluminum?

The lightweight aluminum construction increases the maximum loading capacity to 72 tons per wagon. In addition, no rust forms on aluminum, which could contaminate the load.

What quality standards do the wagons meet?

Due to the method of construction, complete emptying is possible. The hydraulic brake system meets the highest standards.

Which security and monitoring technology is used?

The wagons are equipped with derailment detectors for safe rail transport and GPS monitoring.
