We optimize the transport of biodiesel and diesel from tank farm to tank farm with our rail logistics and consistently rely on environmentally friendly rail transportation in order to ensure the most climate-neutral transport possible.
Investments in progressive measures underline our commitment to modern, alternative and direct logistics solutions in line with environmentally friendly principles:
“We believe in biodiesel and with this investment we can once again prove that we are doing everything we can to not just meet our customers’ requirements, but to exceed them. We deliver green mobility and it is only natural that we do so with the cleanest possible transportation.”
Wolfgang Jahl
As a company that operates throughout Europe, we offer customized solutions that meet the specific requirements and needs of the European market. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction forms the foundation for our successful network of customers and partners.
With its 3 own dual locomotives, M.A.D. Logistik can act quickly and independently. Cross-border transportation can also be offered without any problems. This means that railroad lines that are not electrified can also be served. Even more importantly, our locomotive can be operated the last mile to our customers’ tank farm with our own equipment and personnel without time-consuming re-coupling and other interface problems. A dual locomotive combines two fully-fledged locomotives in one vehicle, which has two drives.

The dual locomotive or last-mile locomotive has two drives. A dual locomotive combines two fully-fledged locomotives in one vehicle. As with a conventional electric locomotive, power is supplied by the overhead line. On sections without overhead lines, the last-mile locomotive simply switches to the auxiliary drive. This enables last-mile locomotives to make optimum use of the e-infrastructure. Where there is an overhead line, they run on electricity. Only on short sections without power supply – often the first and last kilometers – is the combustion engine used. The diesel genset generates electricity for the drive on lines without overhead lines and makes it possible to bridge electrification gaps in the rail network. Dual-mode locomotives therefore avoid running with diesel under the overhead line. This allows maximum use to be made of the e-infrastructure.
The dual locomotive (hybrid) is powered by electricity and diesel. As with a conventional electric locomotive, power is supplied by the overhead line. Dual-mode locomotives have high tractive power on six axles in both drive modes (6,150 kW with electric drive and 2,800 kW with 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 TSI requirements and the European Stage IIIB emission limits.
On sections without overhead lines, the last-mile locomotive simply switches to the auxiliary drive.
We are not only focusing on the locomotives, but are also optimizing the wagons: in 2020, the previously leased, rust-prone wagons of conventional design were replaced by 57 of our own ZACNS BTAN 95.4-1 RID aluminium tank wagons from Feldbinder. These wagons are approved in accordance with RID as well as TSI Freight Wagons and TSI Noise and achieve above-average payloads thanks to their equipment with innovative CFCB compact brake modules. This equipment enables us to increase the loading quantities from 60 to 72 tons per wagon. The wagons also feature easy-to-clean boilers, pipes and outlets.
Data sheet
Thanks to the use of derailment detectors, the wagons meet the highest safety requirements and the existing GPS monitoring enables tracking along the route and the exact prediction of arrival times.
The lightweight aluminum construction increases the maximum loading capacity to 72 tons per wagon. In addition, rust does not form on aluminum, which could contaminate the load.
Due to the design, complete emptying is possible. The hydraulic braking system meets the highest standards.
The wagons are equipped with derailment detectors for safe rail transportation and GPS monitoring.
We are here for you and look forward to hearing from you.
