Last Thursday, June 5, a meeting took place at MAN Coruña, attended by the General Manager of the brand in Spain, the Marketing Manager, our CEO Brais Sangiao and more than 150 people representing companies linked to the world of logistics and road transport.
It was the presentation of two new engines. On the one hand, the new D30 engine, with a maximum efficiency of more than 50% and one of the best fuel consumptions in its category, saving 5% of fuel and emissions, and on the other hand, the electric propulsion of the eTGX model, which represents a new paradigm in the sustainability of road freight transport, with great challenges still pending at the level of recharging infrastructures.
In this event we also delivered the 10 new units recently acquired by Rios Sangiao that will replace vehicles of our fleet that were already around seven years of service. These new vehicles, equipped with the latest MAN D30 engine, reduce the average age of our fleet to 3 years and make our trucks a more efficient and sustainable fleet, reducing our carbon footprint.
The new tractor units that will be incorporated into the latest isothermal tanks acquired have a maximum efficiency of more than 50% and one of the best fuel consumptions in their category, among the most advanced commercial vehicle engines in the world, saving 5% in fuel and emissions
compared to previous generations.
In addition, these new cabins incorporate new safety measures that, although not yet mandatory, will be obligatory in the medium term and put us a step ahead in terms of innovation in our vehicles and in terms of safety regulations.
In this way, we achieve several of our policy objectives
The continuous improvement of our processes and, in short, of our service, entails this type of investment in order to have better working tools that result in efficient and reliable transportation.
This has been the work of Sr. Concejo
