Furgo-Trayler acquires 25 EcoDuo vehicle combinations from Schmitz Cargobull

The Spanish parcel specialist Furgo-Trayler is adding 25 Schmitz Cargobull EcoDuo combinations to its fleet.
November 2024 - The Spanish parcel specialist Furgo-Trayler, which operates nationally and internationally, is adding 25 Schmitz Cargobull EcoDuo combinations to its fleet. These combinations consist of 50 S.BO EXPRESS dry freight semi-trailers and 25 dollies. In Spain, the EcoDuo vehicle combination, which comprises two standard semi-trailers connected via a dolly and pulled by a tractor unit, was authorised to run at 72 tonnes on the country’s roads at the beginning of 2014. This strategic investment should enable Furgo-Trayler to realise significant sustainability benefits, such as fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions. The EcoDuo vehicles will also optimise logistics processes, allowing Furgo-Trayler to offer its customers a first-class service.

The reliability, safety and robustness of the trailers were decisive factors in the purchase decision. 

Joan Monzón, CEO of Furgo-Trayler, is very pleased with the new acquisition. The reliability, safety and robustness of the Schmitz Cargobull trailers, which fit perfectly with Furgo-Trayler's growth and consolidation strategy in the transport sector, were decisive factors in the purchase decision. He emphasises that this investment is part of its internal EcoTrailer programme, which will challenge Furgo-Trayler to reduce its environmental footprint by 30 percent over the next five years. For the transformation to succeed, Monzón believes that investment and collaboration are vital to make the transport sector more environmentally friendly for drivers.

The new S.BO EXPRESS dry freight semi-trailers expand Furgo-Trayler's fleet, which comprises 623 semi-trailers. 50 per cent of them bear the blue elephant, the trademark of Schmitz Cargobull and main supplier of the Catalan company.

The S.BO EXPRESS dry freight semi-trailers, certified in accordance with DIN EN 12642 XL, are equipped with a double-decker system that enables a loading capacity of up to 66 Euro pallets. The vehicles are equipped with the TrailerConnect® telematics system and LED interior lighting as standard. The galvanised MODULOS chassis is easy to 
maintain, offers a high level of corrosion protection and has a 10-year guarantee against rusting through, which underlines the quality and durability of Schmitz Cargobull products.
