As part of the fleet modernization efforts, Waberer’s Group set a target in 2020 to decrease the average age of its trucks to the range of 2-2.5 years. The company has now accomplished this goal.
The average age of tractors in the Hungary-based International Transportation Segment (ITS) stands at 2.3 years, while the overall international segment, including the Polish subsidiary, LINK, has an average fleet age of 2.1 years.
In the Regional Contract Logistics (RCL) segment, comprising tractors, trucks, and vans, the average age has been reduced to 2.5 years.
Barna Erdélyi, a member of Waberer’s International Board of Directors, stated that fleet modernization aims to achieve cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, and deliver higher-quality services to customers.
The company is committed to promoting sustainability through the use of advanced diesel technology, alternative powertrains, and an active role in intermodal transport.
Erdélyi mentioned that Waberer’s Group operates more than 2,100 vehicles in its international fleet, with around 1,700 under Hungarian management, 400 supervised by the Polish subsidiary, and nearly 800 domestic vehicles.
Going forward, approximately 25% of the vehicles in the International Transport Segment will be replaced annually to ensure continuous renewal and modernization. The company also plans to upgrade and modernize its trailer fleet.
Recently, 45 three-axle and 5 two-axle Berger trailers have been introduced, offering reduced weight, increased load capacity, lower fuel consumption, and improved emission levels for more efficient transportation.
