Ermewa has now reached a significant milestone: At the beginning of May 2025, the 50.000th wagon — a Laaers wagon — was added to the Ermewa fleet.

The company has a portfolio of 120 wagon types. These are divided into eight segments. These are aggregates and worksites, automotive, chemistry, grain, energy, intermodal, palletised goods and steel.

"With our 50,000 wagons, we offer one of the broadest portfolios in the industry. Our aim is to be the first choice for efficient, sustainable and future-oriented solutions. The key to this is close and trusting cooperation with our customers and manufacturers”, says Peter Reinshagen, Ermewa's Managing Director. "Our latest investment in car-carrier wagons is a further step in broadening our range," he adds.

Since 2024, the portfolio has also included the transportation of finished vehicles (automotive segment). Over the past five years, the intermodal fleet has been significantly strengthened.

The average age of the wagons has been reduced by five to seven years, depending on the type. Ermewa concludes that in the coming years, brand-new wagons of various types will continue to expand and modernise the fleet.
