BEWAG is a member association of the UIP (International Union of Wagon Keepers) which is an international association representing and supporting over 250 wagon keepers in Europe.

We actively promote rail transport as the backbone of European mobility and facilitate the emergence of a successful rail supply by representing the interests of our members.

Through research, lobbying and targeted cooperation with all stakeholders and organizations interested in rail freight transport, we want to secure the long-term future of rail freight transport and support multimodal transport.
