What is not there to like about Sweden?? Does anybody know something undesirable about the spot?? The trucks are great, the country is complete of beautiful scenery, the men and women are beautiful and the government have their heads screwed on!! Study this from Scania’s press division
By driving with 2 full-length trailers, Scania reduces fuel consumption by up to 30 percent with an equivalent reduction in dangerous carbon dioxide emissions. Following Scania’s request, the Swedish Transport Agency has now granted permission to operate rigs of 31.5 metres in total length between Södertälje and Helsingborg in Sweden.
Scania Transport Laboratory has been conducting study activities on the road for the past 6 years by transporting the company’s own components beneath realistic operating situations in between Scania’s production units in Södertälje, Sweden and Zwolle in the Netherlands. The Transport Laboratory has already been able to demonstrate a halving of CO2emissions per tonne-kilometre from 2008 to 2012, thanks to skilful drivers, optimised vehicles and lower typical speed. Another step is now being taken to show how heavy autos through new methods of considering can drastically minimize climate emissions to 20 grams per tonne-kilometre. The haulage service has been operated to date using rigs of 16.5 metres, which is the maximum permitted length these days for the tractor-semitrailer car mixture in most European states, with the exception of nations such as Sweden and Finland. For the truck-trailer combination, a maximum length of 18.75 metres applies in most European states, even though nations such as Sweden and Finland, permit 25.25 metres.
“There are constructive environmental effects of longer vehicle combinations but sadly it is hard to uncover assistance for this situation in many European nations,” comments Erik Ljungberg, Senior Vice President, Corporate Relations at Scania. “It is really gratifying that the Swedish authorities are taking action to acquire these rewards. To attain an equivalent climate impact by means of vehicle development would take several years.”
The choice of the Swedish Transport Agency was preceded by the Swedish Transport Administration’s stability tests on vehicle combinations of 31.5 metres in order to guarantee that these autos do not present any threat, for instance for the duration of sudden evasive manoeuvres.
“Our lengthy haulage services will not result in any disruptions to the pace of site visitors and we will very simply be capable to sustain the legal speed limit of 80 km/hour,” assures Anders Gustavsson, Managing Director of Scania Transport Laboratory.
