It is a truck with a trailer.
 
Main characteristics:
  • Internal payload volume of the truck body — up to 120 m3,
  • Internal width of the truck body — from 2.42 m to 2.48 m,
  • Internal height of the truck body — from 2.45 m to 2.8 m,
  • Internal length — up to 15 m (combinations of
    7 m + 8 m, 8 m + 7 m),
  • Payload — from 18000 kg to 23000 kg of cargo,
  • Max capacity — 36 euro pallets.
 
Advantages:
  • ease of loading/unloading that can be fulfilled from above, at sides or at the back header, as a result loading/ unloading processes are simplified and accelerated;
  • large internal payload volume at the expense of the coupler length (up to 15 m);
  • two separate cargos can be delivered in accordance with two issued TIR-Carnets (one for each cargo space) at one coupler, which allows to increase the number of destinations under customs control.
 
Disadvantages:
  • not suitable for long length cargo delivery.
