Waberer’s decides on Europe’s largest Euro 6 truck procurement

Investment value of EUR 100 million: Waberer’s has issued a tender for potential suppliers to upgrade more than a quarter of its fleet

The board of directors of Waberer’s International Pte.Co. has decided on a Euro 6 vehicle procurement unprecedented in Europe both in terms of value and size: the company will acquire 1,300 new MEGA truck-trailers to rejuvenate and upgrade its fleet. With the investment exceeding the value of EUR 100 million, more than a quarter of the average two-year old fleet equipped with Euro 5 EEV environment-friendly engines will be replaced with Euro 6 trucks, having the smallest ecological footprint.

At the same time, the procurement will further unify the asset vehicle fleet of one of the Europe’s largest road freight companies. By acquiring the new large ‘Mega trailers’, Waberer’s will only perform freight transportation with equipment 5% larger in unit capacity than smaller types. With fuel consumption and traffic load unchanged, the increased capacity will further improve the fleet’s average annual freight performance of 6,5 billion FTKs.

Waberer’s has issued a tender for potential suppliers; the selection is to be made this summer. The winners will be manufacturers who, apart from a favorable price, offer the most cost-effective operating conditions along with most advanced road and freight safety solutions. Every truck must be equipped with a lane departure warning system, a driver attention monitor system, an adaptive cruise control tempomat and intelligent automatic gear with fuel optimization. A spacious, convenient cockpit, a large-size refrigerator and air auxiliary heater are to serve the drivers’ comfort.

Waberer’s investment is part of a series of measures aiming to double last-year’s revenues of EUR 452 million by the year 2020. With the goal to accelerate the increase of sales, the company has continued its commercial offensive involving the creation of a network of subsidiaries in Europe’s major market centers. Subsequently to the establishment of Waberer’s France in Paris this spring, Waberer’s UK is about to start operation and the formation of the Waberer’s company in the Netherlands is also in an advanced state.
