Export cars with trains !?

[Skaff]

Hello, here is the problem is in the title I can not load the vehicles on the trains I have tried everything. My vehicle factory is directly connected to a vehicle depot which is connected to a train track, and when I tell my trains to collect goods, I don't see the box for vehicles. Can someone explain to me clearly how to do it! Thank you.

Cars (in my case) are taken to the Container loading facility (you will find it under advanced industries on the right hand side) loaded onto a flatbed train and taken to the border (as well as being sold locally - see the tutorial on private cars). Workers are using their own cars to get to the factory (hence all the parked cars).

This tip was giving to me by another player (works for me):
to sell rail vehicles in an automated way, build tracks from the rail vehicle factory to a medium
or large customs house, then acquire a locomotive and give it a route with "load vehicles" at the factory
and "unload vehicles" at the customs house.

What Larry_Roberts is saying is very fair and it is very good advice

If you do not have a container / vehicle loading infrastructure, you cannot load the produced vehicles.

And if you plan to export vehicles by road, the DOs do not support the storage of containers / vehicles. You then need to create trucks in a vehicle depot, which will go to container / vehicle storage and then to customs.

So I need to move the cars on trailers and put them in containers, but then how do I sell big trucks or tractors?

You need a "special" open storage, where your train (or trucks) will load the produced vehicles.
This “special” open storage is “open storage for containers / vehicles”, as Larry_Roberts explained very well (it can be found in the “high-tech industry” menu).

This open storage for "container / vehicle" contains access by rail. And a factory link.
If you are using a Workshop factory, the train can load vehicles directly at the factory.

Warning: make sure that the flat wagons on your train can support the weight of the vehicles produced. Otherwise, the train will not be able to load anything.

It works with trains. Here is my car factory which a vehicle storage. That storage is optional. I didn't know better.

There is a vanilla flat wagon. When you select the wagon, make sure it has the icon "can load a vehicle" (icon at the bottom of the wagon explanatory window).

On this screenhot, the icon at the bottom of the wagon explanatory window, icon in the form of a trailer truck:

Be aware. Some vehicle won´t fit due to their size.
I use this steam crane from Novu. I can´t load it on the big Mac Truck.
Just for the info.

[MrKrabs]

Is it a vehicle storage and not an open storage?

I just found this site. Check here maybe.

Yes it's a vehicule storage like yours photos, but i use vanilla car factory maybe it's bug.

[MrKrabs]

Normally when the internal storage is full the vehicles start to fill up at the storage.
Does your storage have electricity?

[johntarmac]

The train should take vehicles from the factory if there are some there. They don't need to be in the storage.
I have the exact same setup and it works fine.

Maybe do a screenshot of your train loading details.

Ok it's works but i dont understand why they first full the factory storage and after the external storage.
