The C.S.Cargo Group purchased trucks at a cost of CZK 155 million in 2018. The company acquired 51 Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, MAN and Renault vehicles, and 48 trailers, as well as six custom-manufactured trailers for transporting specific handling equipment.
Most of the more than fifty tractors were MAN vehicles, while the majority of trailers were, as in previous years, from the manufacturer Krone. The new vehicles were added to the Czech and, partially, Polish fleets.
An absolutely new aspect of the vehicle-fleet upgrade was the purchase of six custom-manufactured Pavelli trailers acquired for the client Linde Material Handling (Austria). The trailers serve for transport of forklifts and logistics equipment that cannot be transported in standard trailers.
“A major challenge for us was the purchase of six custom-manufactured trailers for transporting specific handling equipment. That is something completely new in our fleet and such unique trailers are not commonly seen in Europe,” says Aleš Willert, general manager of C.S.Cargo Group.
C.S.Cargo Group possesses an expansive fleet of modern and regularly serviced vehicles. In the past eight years, the company has purchased vehicles in the value of nearly CZK 2 billion (more than EUR 77 million). When purchasing new freight vehicles, emphasis is also placed on ensuring that the Euro 6 standard is fulfilled.
