"SNCF, 3-axle articulated tarpaulin wagon type Lailps ""CITROËN"""

The three-axle articulated wagons with sliding tarpaulin of the Las type, later Lails/Lailps, were built from 1974 onwards by SNAV in cooperation with EVS on the basis of the chassis of a three-axle car transporter already built by SNAV itself. Initially they were bought by EVS (France) and Indesit (Italy), later by Transfesa (Spain) - in the version with variable gauge axles introduced in 1976 - and by Ausiliare Milano (Italy). In the following years, further sub-series with small variations were delivered. Over time, some of these wagons were also leased or sold to other companies, with corresponding changes to the logos. They are still used today for the transport of large palletised goods that have to be transported protected from the weather and for which a large shunting area is required for loading, either in homogeneous compositions or as individual units with wagons of other designs. With NEM 362 couplings.
