MODEL INFORMATION
In the 1970s, the GDR wagon factories produced almost exclusively for export. The DR therefore had to look elsewhere to replace the aging fleet and have more vehicles available for the increased transport tasks. In some cases, the solution was to produce new cars in-house, but this technology was not suitable for special vehicles. In the early 1970s, the GDR Ministry of Foreign Trade managed to conclude extensive replacement agreements with France, which resulted in the DR receiving around 20,000 new freight wagons of various types. From 1975 onwards, 1250 4-axle mineral oil tankers were delivered, which were classified under the documentation number 8105 and the type Uahs. Its number range began at 727 0000. The car had a welded chassis made of St 52-3 without a central long beam with type Y25Cs bogies and a split drawbar. The five-layer tank made of 7 mm steel plate (9 mm in the base) has a volume of 85,150 liters and thus allows full utilization of the maximum permissible axle load of 20 t at that time. The KE-GP compressed air brake with brake clutch adjustment and mechanical load braking was supplemented by a platform-operated handbrake and corresponded to the technology of the time. The wagons were primarily used in block trains and were especially used to transport fuels such as gasoline and diesel. Since the GDR also exported these to generate foreign currency, the wagons with such transport also came to the "NSW - Non-Socialist Economic Area"
