1961

The Kds 67 belongs to the series of wagons equipped with three containers. A total of 56x units are acquired in three different versions:
- 1961: the first 7x units are put into service; they have aluminum containers and are designated as Ucs 910 from 1968 onward;
- 1963-1965: the second series is composed of 9x units; these are based on the previous version, but the lower container angle was increased from 45° to 60° and are later renamed Ucs 911;
- 1964 - 1965: the third and last series of 40x units is acquired; the construction corresponds to that of the Ucs 911 series, but the containers are not made of aluminum, but steel, and are later renamed Ucs 912.

All three versions are similar to the Kds 54 and Kds 56 series wagons, which, however, only have two containers. The containers of the Kds 67 each hold 17 m³ and are exclusively used for transporting plastic granulate. All wagons have single-shackle running gear, KE brakes, and 59-ton high-performance buffers.

By 1967, 37x Ucs 912 and 4x Ucs 911 units have already been sold to the companies "EVA" and "VTG". Most of these wagons are still in use by these companies today.
