DANX begins duo trailer operations to boost customer carbon emission compliance goals
Change in Swedish road traffic regulations opens up emissions reduction opportunity.
Stockholm,
Sweden Wednesday 11th September: DANX has
begun using Duo trailer, the ‘Tractor+trailer+Dolly+trailer system’, in its
Swedish operations.
Following
a change in Swedish legislation, which freed up HGVs with two or three trailers
up to 34.5 metres in length to operate on around 590 kilometres of road, the
time critical logistics specialist will begin to operate Duo trailers
which it anticipates will reduce emissions by up to 7 percent and improve
operations’ efficiency.
“This
change in the law is great news for both our customers and DANX’s ambitions to
reduce emissions,” said Martin Grauers, Managing Director, Sweden.
“It
will enable DANX to help its customers reach their increasingly challenging
emissions reduction targets which are a high priority right now across the
Nordics and throughout Europe.
“Furthermore,
as DANX operates between 140 to 150 heavy trucks, tractor-trailers on a daily
basis in Sweden, reducing our carbon footprint is key to our own ESG
(Environmental, Social and Governance) ambitions.”
To
accommodate the new sized vehicles, the Swedish Transport Administration has
established the ‘E-service’ that consists of the main road network and
connecting roads.
Companies
are required to apply to the E-service if they want additional roads to be
added to the 34.5 million strong vehicle road network.
“As
well as being able to take advantage of the change in Swedish legislation with
Duo trailer, we are already deeply invested in the use of biodiesel or biogas
for linehauls, and electric vehicles for last mile distribution in urban areas
which will bring further benefits to both our customers and the wider public,”
said Grauers.
Duo
trailer has been undergoing tests in Europe since 2014, with operations already
underway in Spain.
In Australia, Duo trailer
(more commonly referred to as Double, B-double or road train) are already a
common sight with, in some cases, three trailers stretching up to 53.5m in
length.
