Relaxation in Europe: Update of the current loading restrictions

DACHSER focuses on more loading space

Successive conversion of semitrailers in the European Logistics business line optimises capacity utilisation and at the same time improves the climate footprint of transports.

Since April 2021, DACHSER has opted exclusively for so-called ‘mega trailers’ when purchasing new semi-trailers in Germany. Because of their more generous cargo space dimensions - with otherwise the same length and width - the mega trailers achieve better fuel economy than standard semi-trailers, especially over long distances. 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.

DACHSER launches ‘Smart Landbridge Connect’ to speed Irish exports to Europe

This makes DACHSER Ireland the first major logistics provider to revert to the Pre-Brexit European service.
