The Model 19-9838-01 is a four-axle enclosed hopper wagon purpose-built for bulk cement transport over Russia's 1,520 mm gauge railway network. It is manufactured by KAVAZ LLC — the Kanash Wagon Building Plant — located in Kanash, Chuvash Republic, an enterprise within the Tractor Plants industrial group with decades of freight rolling stock production experience.
The wagon is classified as a hopper-type car under Government Decree No. 616, confirming its status as a domestically produced product eligible for state procurement preferences.
Its 64 m³ enclosed body holds 74 tonnes of payload while keeping tare weight to just 19.5 t, delivering a favorable payload-to-tare ratio for cement logistics. Four top-loading hatches of 620 mm clear diameter provide sealed filling, while four gravity-discharge hatches at the base — aided by 53° hopper wall angles and a 50° end-wall rake — ensure complete, residue-free emptying.
The car spans 11,920 mm coupler-to-coupler on a 7,700 mm wheelbase, stands 4,390 mm tall from rail top, and is rated to a design speed of 120 km/h. Body clearance gauge meets 1-Т per GOST 9238, making the wagon compatible across the entire CIS freight network.
It runs on 18-9771 series bogies offering an extended maintenance cycle of up to 4 years or 500,000 km between major overhauls, reducing fleet downtime and lifecycle ownership costs.
