A 'megatruck' is 25.25 meters long while a conventional trailer truck only reaches 18.75 meters. In fact, a megatruck could be considered as two articulated trailers with a single tractor head, which has a power of up to 580 CV, and is capable of pulling more than 60 tons of cargo.
Experts calculate that a ' megatruck' saves up to 22% in logistics costs for transport companies. It must be for this reason that Seat intends to have a fleet of five trucks of this type to cover the route between Palau-Solità and Martorell, another ten that would connect with the Madrid spare parts center and four more that would connect with the group's factory Volkswagen in the Portuguese town of Oliveira (Portugal). According to the logistics group Sesé, the platform that links the two trailers costs about 30,000 euros.
One of the elements that requires the most attention in megatrucks is the bodywork, which must always be in perfect condition, so as not to unbalance the articulation of the two trailers and the tractor. Coinciding with the first journey of a 'megatruck' on Spanish roads, at recambiosdelcamion.com and Recambios España we have launched a promotional offer with discounts and rebates on spare parts and spare parts from the bodywork catalogue: a toolbox for trucks and trailers, rubber bumpers for roller bumpers and wheel nut covers.
