983953021 T1381 -Improving freight gauges (W7-W9a and 10a)
This sits in the upper-middle of the Research & Development band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
This research will review and propose changes to the W7, W7a, W8, W8a, W9, W9a and W10a vehicle gauge definitions.
It will create a robust evidence base to inform the proposed changes and ensure that these maximise, as much as possible, the opportunity to accommodate wagon and container combinations within these gauges without affecting their route clearance.
The analysis will also show where additional gauge enhancement work could unlock the possibility for increased container flows.
