Safety is reliability

Maintaining a fleet of vehicles in good condition is a significant undertaking for a business, and sometimes the question arises: is it worth it? Of course it is.

One of the key points to consider in new isothermal tanker trucks is safety. The first priority is the safety of our drivers in the event of an accident, but fortunately, such incidents are becoming less and less frequent.

However, minor collisions and accidents without personal injury are more common, but these can cause major inconveniences in terms of delays in the delivery or collection of the liquid food stuffs we transport. Damaged goods during loading or unloading, a minor collision while driving or an incident during a break may not pose a serious risk, but they can disrupt delivery schedules, causing delays and affecting the productivity of the destinationplant.

For this reason, the safety measures implemented in our trucks help to reduce the risk of minor incidents that in practice result in significant delays and financial losses.

In the latest MAN vehicles purchased in recent weeks, drivers have a 5-metre panoramic view of the cab's surroundings thanks to wide-angle cameras, which virtually eliminate blind spots around the truck.

They also incorporate proximity sensors that detect any object that comes into the vehicle's path when manoeuvring. In these cases, it is usually the people involved in loading and unloading who inadvertently place themselves in dangerous areas.

This makes loading and unloading food liquids much safer and ensures that everything goes according to plan, meeting delivery deadlines and respecting the controlled times and temperatures for the food liquids we transport.

In addition, there are other safety measures that have a greater impact on the reliability of goods transport, which we will explain in a future blog post.

Safety translates into reliability in transport and on-time deliveries.
