Since the turn of the year, Frode Laursen has been driving with DUO2 road trains between Zealand and Jutland. As an experimental arrangement, Denmark now allows driving the 32-meter-long road trains on a selected route between Høje Taastrup and Brabrand.
“We are thrilled that this possibility has now opened,” says Dennis Sørensen, division chief in Road DK distribution, and continues:
“With the new double trailers, we can transport twice as much cargo on a truck compared to a standard truck and trailer solution, which will significantly impact the transport’s CO2 footprint.”
Where a standard truck can transport 33 pallets, DUO2 road trains transport 66 pallets, thereby reducing the CO2 footprint by 46%.
“We hope the trial scheme will be extended to cover the entire modular train road network. It could make a big difference,” says Dennis Sørensen.
