Global Railway Engineering to Pilot GenFlat Collapsible Shipping Containers
During the trial, starting in
The pilot will evaluate GenFlat’s patented collapsible container technology in real-world rail and intermodal operations. By enabling up to four empty containers to collapse and move in the space of one conventional container, GenFlat’s solution addresses one of the industry’s most persistent inefficiencies: the high cost and operational burden of repositioning empty containers.
“We are excited to partner with Global Railway Engineering on this important pilot in South Africa,” said
“This trial with GenFlat reflects our commitment to innovation and smarter asset utilization,” said

About
GenFlat is an early-stage company that developed a more sustainable collapsible marine container (the “GenFlat Container”), that can be collapsed when emptied and stacked in bundles of four collapsed containers that occupy the same space as a standard marine container. When GenFlat Containers are stacked 4-to-1, they can save up to 75% on: 1) freight costs, terminal handling fees, transloading fees, and other fees; 2) carbon emitted by ocean vessels, trucks, and trains by reducing the number of trips necessary; and 3) space required at ports, container yards, and distribution centers. GenFlat operates as a container sales and leasing company and supplies GenFlat’s patented marine containers primarily to shipping line customers under a variety of short and long-term lease structures.
