A technological shift is afoot for wagons and load carriers for specialized freight transport for the SSAB stretches between Luleå and Borlänge and Borlänge and Oxelösund.

The wagons are equipped with disc brakes that allow for quieter trains, greater flexibility of wagon usage and increased safety.
