Spiral-Welded TankA world first
The Erciyas Advantage

One continuous geometry. Zero cross seams.

In conventional multi-joint architecture, every T-weld joint is a potential failure point that inflates mandatory NDT (inspection) costs. Our world-first spiral-welded tank technology minimizes structural weak points, turning every meter of track into revenue.

~71%fewer inspection points (T-joints)
+13%extended fatigue life under cyclic stress
20×faster tank production
100%seam inspection: ultrasound + X-ray
+4years of added service life, on a 30-year design life
0cross seams along the tank
  • Lamination control is applied both to the incoming plate and to the finished tank.
  • The spiral welding technology has a proven service record on oil and gas pipeline fields, trusted by the world's leading operators.
  • Tank production is no longer the bottleneck of the line.

Sustainability

We produce responsibly, more from less

Concrete commitments across environment, society and governance. Rail also means far lower carbon than road.

−35% CO₂ by 2035 Environment Social Responsibility Governance
See Our Commitments
Future Solutions

Less carbon. More cargo.

Rail already emits far less carbon than road for every tonne carried a kilometre. We build the vehicle that makes that shift possible: lighter, longer-lived, higher-payload wagons that now also monitor themselves.

17,4gCO₂ per tonne-km by rail
46,9gCO₂ per tonne-km by road
300+trucks taken off the road by one freight train
%63less carbon on every shipment moved to rail

Disruptive Tank Technology

Spiral-Welded Tank Wagons

Fewer weld seams, less steel, less tare. Carrying the same load in a lighter wagon saves fuel and carbon on every single trip.

Smart Multimodal Vessel

Connected ISO Tanks

Spiral-welded ISO tanks, T50 and beyond, with sensors reporting location, temperature, pressure and fill level remotely. One vessel across train, ship and truck, with unbroken visibility.

Future of Mobility

Erciyas Hyperloop

We are the world's first Hyperloop tube designer and manufacturer. In a near-vacuum tube friction is almost eliminated: aircraft speed, fully electric, unaffected by weather. It carries the potential to turn cross-continental freight and passenger journeys from hours into minutes.

Integrated Transport Systems

Fleet Management and Optimisation

Seeing wagons, tanks and containers as one digital fleet. Cutting empty running, planning maintenance before failure, optimising every trip for load factor. The aim is a lower cost of ownership across the whole life of what we sell.
