Italian haulage firm Mantoan Trasporti specialises in difficult transport assignments involving heavy loads such as industrial machinery and railway equipment. The most recent major contract – which will keep Mantoan engaged for the next few years – involves transporting the shells of the rail carriages needed to build the latest high-speed trains in the USA.
To fulfil the contract from the USA, Mantoan Trasporti has opted for eight new Scania V8 trucks. The carriages are collected from a production site in Piemonte and then transported in Mantoan’s trucks through France to the Belgium port of Zeebrugge, where the cargo is shipped to the USA. Mantoan Trasporti has a fleet of 45 trucks. (ben)
