First batch of 680 mega trailers ordered
Dachser is purchasing ‘mega trailers’ to convert its fleet. Because of their more generous cargo space dimensions - with otherwise the same length and width – these trailers achieve better fuel economy than standard semi-trailers, especially over long distances, the forwarder said.
Full conversion of the German fleet is scheduled to be completed by 2027, with some 680 new mega trailers in total. In the next few years, Dachser will also start replacing its fleets in the 24 other European countries where it is represented through its European Logistics business line.
Mega trailers boast an additional 20 cm in interior height, as the loading area is just under 100 cm above the road surface. This provides 8 cbm more cargo space. (ben)
