  • It measures over 30 metres long and reduces CO2 emissions by 20% per road journey
  • The duo trailer leads to a logistics cost savings of 25% and should reduce the level of road accidents
  • The truck was tested on the journey from Zaragoza to the #seat headquarters in Martorell 

SEAT and #gruposese are again at the forefront of road transport. Both companies carried out a pilot test to analyse the performance of the duo trailer, the largest and most efficient freight delivery truck now driving on motorways in some European countries. The test journey was made from Zaragoza to the #seat headquarters in Martorell and will be repeated in upcoming months while transporting components.

The duo trailer features two 13.60 metre long trailers pulled by a truck with a Scania cab, a Volkswagen Group brand, a total length of 31.70 metres and a maximum payload capacity of 70 tonnes. In total, it enables a reduction in CO2 emissions of 20% per road journey and a 25% decrease in the logistics costs of transporting components, figures that these tests intend to verify. Designed for travelling on high capacity roads, the duo trailer will also lower the number of trucks that travel on conventional roads, which is where the highest number of road accidents take place.
