Transportation Company - Eisenbahn-Verkehrsmittel-Aktiengesellschaft (EVA) - Energy



Company History: The railway transport A.-G was founded on November 24, 1899. The company was founded by taking over the Deutsche Waggon-Leihanstalt G. m. b. H. as Deutsche Waggon-Leihanstalt Aktien-Gesellschaft. In 1917, Wagenbau AG, Wismar was integrated and renamed "Eisenbahn-Verkehrsmittel AG", or "EVA" for short.

In 1943, a stake in the railcar and wagon factory Wismar AG, Seestadt Wismar and the Waggon-Fabrik AG, Uerdingen (Lower Rhine) followed. In 1948 the company's headquarters were moved to Düsseldorf . In 2002 the company merged into VTG-Lehnkering AG , then a subsidiary of Hapag-Lloyd and TUI, after several changes of name and mergers . VTG AG has been listed on the stock exchange since June 28, 2007.

The business area was before the Second World War rental and purchase of locomotives, tenders, motor vehicles, railway and tram cars, tankers, tank systems and the like, as well as tank storage. When it was founded in 1899, this was a new business area in Germany . Today (as of 2010) this is done without locomotives, tenders, motor and tram cars. Tank wagons with the EVA logo can still be found on European tracks , as they were not repainted after being acquired by VTG in 2002.
