The automobile logistics specialist uses a battery-powered low-deck truck for long-distance services for the first time
Bocholt, 23 October 2023 – A lower chassis and battery-powered too – they are the main features of a new generation of emission-free tractor units that the freight forwarding and logistics company, Duvenbeck, has welcomed into its fleet. The new vehicle is a so-called “low deck” tractor unit. “Low deck” means that it can only haul trailers with an interior loading height of three metres due to its low chassis height. These trailers, which are described as mega trailers, are particularly efficient and suitable for services in the automobile industry, because they enable the space to be fully used in the best possible way.
