Cargo Carriers continues to invest in cutting-edge Mercedes-Benz Trucks technology to provide unrivalled transport logistics solutions to its customers.
In November 2019, the company took delivery of 14 additional Actros 2645/33LS Pure truck tractors. They have been deployed on a new contract for a mine in Mpumalanga and augment the 14 Actros 2645/33LS trucks that Cargo Carriers bought from Mercedes-Benz Trucks especially for this contract in June 2019.
The trucks are being used in combination with sophisticated Interlink side tippers with a 38t optimal capacity.
Cargo Carriers bought its first Mercedes-Benz trucks more than 60 years ago and will continue to invest in the original-equipment manufacturer’s sophisticated technology. This is considering that it supports the transporter’s very high Safety, Health, Environment and Quality standards. These are an imperative when operating in volatile and hazardous industries, such as gas, fuel, chemicals and mining.
For example, the new trucks feature a range of innovations to help prevent a disaster. These include, among others, anti-lock and electronically-controlled braking systems, as well as disc brakes. They are complemented by acceleration skid, proximity, stability and roll-over control features.
Importantly, the new truck tractors are also 6% lighter than their predecessors, providing significantly more power efficiency and fuel savings.
They also feature an upgraded Fleetboard, among the many state-of-the-art telematics solutions that Cargo Carriers uses to manage its customer-centric transport operations.
The technology also augments the valuable skills that the company’s drivers gained during their Mercedes Benz Eco Training, which can lead to long-term fuel savings of up to 15%.
These are being complemented by Cargo Carriers’ own driver training programmes and load-tracking software for predictable and reliable delivery.
Cargo Carriers’ recent growth in the mining industry has enabled it to continue its investment in top-of-the-range transport equipment to expand its fleet, despite many industries and competitors being deeply affected by the economic recession.
The company will continue to invest in top-of-the-range solutions to unlock its full growth potential.
Cargo Carriers builds on its long legacy with Mercedes-Benz Trucks
