A clean solution
In early September, when it became obvious, that the Swiss Government couldn't be persuaded to increase the road tax (LSVA) for the widely used Euro 3 trucks, we had to act.
As fast as possible, but not later than until the end of this year, we wanted to replace the Euro 3 trucks in our fleet, to such of the latest emission generation. Hard to do with delivery times of nine months for new vehicles. But finally we were lucky, as we discovered four brand new Volvos FH 440 at Volvo Warsaw, which were exactly among our specifications. Vehicles once ordered, but never delivered to a in the meantime bankrupt company.
With in days the tractors were purchased, driven to Switzerland, approved and after a few days only handed over to our drivers.
Today ninety percent of our trucks are in the lowest emission category and our fleet has an average age of 1.7 years only. This is the upmost we can do for the environment, the security and our customers.
