(PRESS RELEASE) LEINFELDEN-ECHTERDINGEN, 27-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Bolk Transport, a leading freight and logistics company based in Almelo, Netherlands, has upgraded its heavy-duty fleet with the addition of two Mercedes-Benz Arocs 8×4 trucks. These vehicles, equipped with 630 horsepower and a fluid coupling, are capable of handling gross train weights of up to 250 tons, making them ideal for transporting massive loads such as transformers and wind turbine components across Europe. The new trucks replace their predecessors after eight years and approximately 500,000 kilometers of service.

Reliability and Durability Drive Procurement Decisions

Erik Maassen van den Brink, Fleet Manager at Bolk Transport, highlighted the importance of reliability and long-term performance in their decision to acquire the Arocs models. “Our trucks endure far tougher transport tasks than standard vehicles, and the Arocs has consistently demonstrated exceptional durability,” he said. The fluid coupling, which enables smooth handling during frequent acceleration and braking, was a key factor in their selection. “This technology significantly reduces wear and ensures precise operation, even on steep inclines, providing drivers with greater control and efficiency,” Maassen van den Brink added.
