The invention relates to a freight car (3) for transporting, for instance trucks. The freight car (3) comprises a platform (2) that can rotate about the vertical axis. The surface of the platform to be driven onto has a height above the top surface of the rail (12) that complies with the loading gauge of the country or countries in which transport takes place. The surface of the platform (2) to be driven on preferably has a maximum height of 700 mm, more particularly 310 mm above the top surface of the rail (12). This ensures that the height of the transport including the standard height truck does not exceed German or international loading gauges. The existing loading gauge in Germany of 4680 mm and the existing international loading gauge of 4310 mm height are thereby observed. Standard-height trucks can thus be transported on the inventive freight cars (3) under overhead lines or through train tunnels. Loading trucks onto and unloading trucks from the inventive freight cars (3) can be carried out in any site where paved surfaces are available, for instance, also in grade crossings.
