这标志着作为 "通往2033年 "战略的一部分，对扩大公司的铁路车队进行了重大投资。

CBH集团已经同意从中车眉山购买200辆标准轨距的粮食漏斗车和450辆窄轨距的粮食漏斗车。

总部设在中国的铁路货运制造商中车眉山公司是中国领先的制造商之一，专门从事铁路车辆和粮食漏斗车的制造和全球分销。

由于采购的规模，这些货车将分七批交付给CBH，从2024年第四季度（Q4）开始，将在2025年第二季度结束。

CBH首席执行官Ben Macnamara强调了这项合作将如何实现2033年的公司目标的："我们的铁路车队是合作现有列车组的关键资产。这是一个战略重点，对我们实现CBH的 "通往2033年 "战略至关重要，该战略旨在到2033年或更早地将我们的月出口能力提升到300万吨。

"扩大我们的货车车辆，同时扩大我们的标准轨距和窄轨距机车车队，是提高我们外运装载能力的一个重要步骤。"

这项协议是在CBH于2022年制定的扩张计划之后达成的，以配合他们的2033年战略，目标是在2033年之前平均接收2200万吨的作物，并在航运窗口的前半段将其中的70%运出。

2022年，CBH启动了三个竞争性招标程序，购买标准轨距机车、窄轨距机车和货车，以扩大和加强其目前由25辆机车和572辆货车组成的铁路车队。

CBH obtains new wagons from CRRC Meishan

This marks a significant investment in the expanding of the company’s rail fleet as part of the "Path to 2033" strategy.

The CBH Group has agreed to buy 200 standard-gauge grain hopper wagons and 450 narrow-gauge grain hopper wagons from CRRC Meishan.

The China-based rail freight manufacturer CRRC Meishan, one of China’s leading manufacturers, specialises in the building and distribution of rail cars and grain hopper wagons worldwide.

Due to the scale of the purchase, the wagons will be delivered to CBH in seven tranches, commencing in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024 and will end in Q2 2025.

CBH CEO Ben Macnamara emphasised how this collaboration adheres to the company’s aims by 2033: “Our rail fleet is a key asset for the co-operative existing train sets. It is a strategic priority that is critical for us to achieve CBH’s “Path to 2033” strategy which aims to lift our monthly export capacity to 3 million tonnes by 2033 or sooner.

“Expanding our wagon rolling stock, in conjunction with the expansion of our standard-gauge and narrow-gauge locomotive fleets, is a significant step to improve our out loading capability.”

This agreement follows expansion plans CBH set in 2022, in order to fit in with their 2033 strategy with the objective of receiving an average 22 million tonne crop by 2033 and outturn 70% of this in the first half of the shipping window.

In 2022, CBH launched three competitive request-for-proposal processes to buy standard-gauge locomotives, narrow-gauge locomotives and wagons to extend and enhance its present rail fleet of 25 locomotives and 572 waggons.

The CBH Group, is a grain growers’ cooperative that handles, markets and processes grain from the wheatbelt of Western Australia.
