Megatruck benefits and specifications

Megatruck benefits and specifications

In recent years, giant trucks known as megatrucks have begun to circulate on Spanish roads. These vehicles are relatively new in the transport of goods in our country, but not in other parts of the world.

We tell you what these vehicles are and their main benefits for the logistics sector.

What is Megatruck?

The megatruck, also known as a road train, is a vehicle consisting of a tractor unit connected to several trailers and semi-trailers. Its length can be up to 25.5 metres and its load capacity up to 60 tonnes. A megatruck would be the equivalent of about three trucks.

The special nature of these vehicles means that their circulation is regulated and they must comply with specific regulations. Likewise, megatrucks are obliged to have a specific active and preventive safety system installed, such as automatic emergency braking, ESP or blind spot warning.

Advantages of Megatrucks

Competitiveness and efficiency

One of the advantages offered by the megatruck is its competitiveness and efficiency. By being able to load, for example, more cars, they need to make fewer journeys and therefore considerably reduce the amount of fuel they need to use.

In addition, by making fewer trips, the time it takes to get from one point to another is reduced.

More environmentally sustainable

Fewer journeys also reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Using a megatruck reduces the number of trips and consequently reduces fuel consumption. For this reason, these vehicles are more sustainable and beneficial to the environment.

Less traffic congestion on the road

Another advantage of this type of vehicle is its size. Many roads are overcrowded with trailers and large trucks that cause a lot of traffic. By using the megatruck, the number of vehicles on the roads is considerably reduced, which not only reduces congestion but also the risk of road accidents.

At Consman we offer a comprehensive and versatile megatruck repair service. Our facilities allow our trained staff to carry out any type of work regardless of the size of the vehicle. We are also an official workshop of Krone Trailer and Lohr Industrie and can offer quality repairs and original materials of the brands.
