Van Eck Attends The Digital Fair

Posted on 10/02/202329/03/2023 by Tırsan Admin

The household name in innovative transport solutions Van Eck attends the digital fair at nfz-
messe.com.

From 24th of September to 8th of October, Van Eck shares the latest developments in its products and is showcasing the Eckstreme Twin Deck vehicle.

Expert trailer manufacturer Van Eck is among the first to have developed twin deck trailers in 2003 and is now the industry standard for the twin deck. Van Eck’s Eckstreme Twin Deck enables to save on every kilometer by positioning 2 separate 1.80 cm high pallets at the same time, decreasing
CO2 emissions by 40%, enabling cost reduction by 30% by carrying the load of 3 trailers in 2 twin decks and minimizes total cost of ownership.

Moreover, it is also possible to learn more about Van Eck’s Trailer Innovation 2021 Award category “Environment” nominee Smart Rollerbed Vehicles with NMLU (New Modular Loading Unit) that is developed with Van Eck team included group effort supported by Horizon 2020 project 2.0.

Smart Rollerbed Vehicles with NMLU is a new element between the trailer and pallet and developed to address the problems of conventional loading operations such as time spent in loading and unloading, hazards for health and safety during loading and unloading operations, improper load securing risks, and excessive use of packaging material.

Last but not least, as the proud partner of Aeroflex project, Van Eck has organized a special webinar. On 8th of October at 15.00 GMT+2 (European Summer Time), AEROFLEX Project Coordinator Ben Kraaijenhagen and Van Eck’s Head of Research and Development Ton Bertens will present the vision of AEROFLEX and how AEROFLEX will offer a comprehensive

Van Eck presented its sustainable product range at transport logistic 2021

Posted on 09/02/202329/03/2023 by Tırsan Admin

Expert trailer manufacturer Van Eck participated in transport logistic 2021 with its online company session named “Discover Van Eck Product Range to meet your CO2 emission targets”.

During the session followed by participants from 25 countries, Van Eck Head of R&D Mr. Ton Bertens in coversation with Mr. Jörg Montag, presented Van Eck product range such as LHV and Twindeck vehicles to enable transport and logistics companies to meet their CO2 targets starting today, as well as presented Van Eck’s contribution to the Aeroflex Project.

Last but not least, Van Eck proudly launched TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and CO2 saving calculation tool during the presentation, developed with the globally active management consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners.

Van Eck offers the most efficient vehicles to meet your CO2 targets immediately

During the presentation, Mr. Ton Bertens shared detailed information about Van Eck vehicles’ contribution to CO2 reduction targets, advanced features of Eckstreme Twindeck and Longer Heavier vehicles and Van Eck’s contribution to the European-backed Aeroflex project in addition to the launch of brand-new TCO and CO2 saving calculation tool.

“Our vehicles are built with exceptional quality and high functionality in every detail and are environmentally-friendly and efficient to support you while achieving your CO2 targets. These technologies are available right now and especially with Twindeck particular transport companies have been using them successfully for years. With our new TCO and CO2 savings calculator we would like to demonstrate to the general public how Twindeck saves on costs as well as carbon emissions.

Van Eck Twindeck vehicles are setting standards in the industry by allowing two decks with 1.830 mm loading height each thus achieving a 60 percent higher loading capacity. The very first USP is 1.830 mm in order to better explain 60% loading capacity, which reduces lateral air resistance and thus contributes to lower fuel consumption. This factor in combination with the 60 percent higher loading capacity, flows into the balance of the 40 percent lower CO2 emissions. On the other hand, in longer and heavier vehicle segment we focus on maximizing the load factor while providing smart loading and unloading systems to eliminate operational lags and inefficiencies.
As the specialist for transport solutions with low TCO, we will continue to do our part to meet the sector’s CO2 targets.” stated Mr. Bertens.

You can calcute your own TCO and Co2 savings with easy online tool

Van Eck uses expert tools to calculate TCO advantages with exact operations data from its customers to design and manufacture the Twindecks that best fit their needs. These calculations happen when a customer makes a formal inquirty for Twindecks. However, to raise awareness on how Twindeck benefits the savings and the environment Eckstremely, Van Eck has launched a basic verison of the expert tool on its website for everyone to do a preliminary calculation. The basic TCO and CO2 calculator has been developed with the leading strategy and marketing consultants Simon-Kucher & Partners.

With the newly established TCO and CO2 calculator available on vanecktrailers.com website, it is possible to calculate the total vehicle costs and the reduction of CO2 emissions of Van Eck Eckstreme Twindecks easily.

When it comes to maximum loading volume for a 13.6 m trailer, the double-deck trailer cannot be beaten. Thanks to the independent wheel suspension, the special design enables an extremely low floor, a correspondingly high loading space, a second loading floor and additional space between the wheels. Ton Bertens, Head of R&D at Van Eck relies on these system advantages: “By improving the loading efficiency and other innovations, the load factor of a trailer can be increased by up to 60 percent on two levels than a standard trailer with space for 33 pallets, resulting in a linear reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Our twindeck trailer is a good example of our approach: it can hold up to 54 euro pallets, resulting in a 40 percent reduction in CO2 emissions.”

Often double-deckers are also used to transport roll containers. Depending on the design, which can be different for different shippers, there is space for up to 89 roll cages in a double-decker. These system advantages come into play with light, non-stackable loads such as packages.

The rule of thumb, according to which two double-decker tractor-trailer combinations replace three tractor-trailer combinations with a standard box trailer, shows the great savings potential: There is no need for a driver and a tractor unit, the required traffic area is a third less, and the CO2 emissions are reduced by around 40 percent.

Initial investment differences are set off by Twindeck’s volume advantages and the savings accumulate on how trailers are used. In order to facilitate the complex calculation of the investment in a double decker compared to a standard box trailer, Van Eck had the Van Eck TCO and CO2 savings calculator developed with the globally active management consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners, the leading company in strategy and marketing consultancy. The Van Eck TCO and CO2 saving calculator takes into account all the costs of the capital goods as part of a business total cost calculation.

The Van Eck TCO and CO2 saving calculator takes several parameters such as purchase price of the trailer, interest rate, term in years, fuel price, driver wages (per 100,000 km) and the number of Van Eck twindecks into account when comparing a conventional box trailer and a Van Eck twindeck trailer.

The calculator uses this framework data to calculate the savings against the additional costs. As a result, the higher acquisition costs and the higher maintenance costs of the Eckstreme twindeck are offset by numerous savings potentials including a third fewer tractor units (two instead of three) to buy and maintain, a third fewer drivers (two instead of three), around a third less fuel consumption, lower toll costs, lower insurance costs, lower tire costs and less depreciation.

The concept can demonstrate its strengths above all in full load transport and shuttle transport, and when delivering to supermarkets, the number of stations per tour can be increased significantly. If the framework conditions are right, the investment in a Eckstreme twindeck trailer can pay for itself in just one year. According to calculations by Simon-Kucher &Partners, the twindeck trailer pays for itself in 1 year and also saves 55.935 kg of CO2 equivalent of 2.578 trees. While total savings continue to rise exponentially, 1 twindeck alone over 5 years with an annual average mileage of 150,000 km with the savings goes up to 344.274 € with 229.675 kg of CO2 and 12.888 trees.

Van Eck is the proud winner of the Trailer Innovation 2023 Awards

Posted on 09/02/202331/03/2023 by Tırsan Admin

The leading innovative transport solutions provider Van Eck has proudly won 1st place of the Trailer Innovation Awards 2023 in the category ‘Component’ with its in-house developed Container Locker System for the safe and secure transportation of roll containers, most efficiently and sustainably transported with Van Eck’s signature Twindeck vehicles, the innovation award winner in 2005.

Van Eck designed, tested, and finalized a most practical, flexible low-cost device, the Container Locker System that addresses partial loading, load security problems, and their subsequent cost, time, and operational health and safety results.

Previously on the prestigious Trailer Innovation Awards, Van Eck was 3rd in 2005 with its signature Twindeck Trailer, 2nd in 2011 in the ‘Body’ category with its Eckspressive Air Cargo Trailer, and 3rd in 2021 in the ‘Environment’ category with its Smart Rollerbed Vehicles with NMLU (New Modular Loading Unit).

In-house developed systems for safe and efficient loading/unloading and safety of the cargo

Transport of goods in roll containers is an efficient method used in the Benelux region and DACH region for a variety of goods such as postal services, laundries, retail, and flower transportation. Roll containers are loaded in all types of box trailers as well as Van Eck signature Twindeck trailers that present %60 more loading capacity.

As Van Eck prioritizes not only manufacturing the highest quality long-lasting and least carbon footprint solutions for their customers’ unique transport challenges, it equally develops systems for safe and efficient loading and unloading of goods as well as safety of the cargo.

Van Eck Container Locker System for your flexible loading needs

During operations, the ideal loading of roll containers would fill up the trailer entirely with load securing via security bars at the end of trailers, already designed and built as the trailer is initially designed. However, customers’ operations may require partial flexible loading was already designed and built-in load securing mechanisms would fail short to provide security.

When partially loaded roll containers are not secured and move freely within the trailer knocking on each other and side panels, they damage goods loaded in the roll containers, damage the side walls without risk to road safety, they damage the roll containers themselves. The damages result in, operational inefficiency and extra costs of goods replacement, repair costs of the trailers as well as declining second-hand value, and replacement cost of damaged roll containers.

Van Eck Container Locker System is a light, long-lasting practical solution that accommodated all variations of partial loading of load containers and does not require training or extensive experience to operate.

The Container Locker System is made of light and durable aluminum, and has 800 mm in length and 100 mm x 100 mm (width x depth), and weighs 3 kg each. The Container Locker System consists of 2 units of telescopic rods, in combination with a square beam that secures the roll container blocks by less than 10. The maximum amount of roll containers for a box trailer is 44. Van Eck’s Container Locker System works even for 43 roll containers.

Van Eck is proudly taking its place at IAA transportation 2022, in Hall 27 E32, between 20-25 September in Hannover Germany. Reinventing modern road transport since 1912, Van Eck will present the most sustainable transport solutions to address carbon emissions targets today.

Van Eck Trailers developed <Eck Solar power Roof together IM Efficiency to improve the fuel efficiency of the fleets. <Eck Solar power Roof is a photovoltaic energy system for trucks and trailers to reduce fuel consumption by over 2.000 liters of fuel annually.

<Eck Solar power Roof is a plug & play kit, consisting of (a) flexible solar modules, (b) an energy management system, and (c) a lithium battery. The unique photovoltaic panels are fully integrated into the roof so no extra height consequences when panels are mounted.

As an add-on kit, the technology can be installed on brand new vehicles or can be retrofitted to older vehicles to enable the fleet to leverage the power of the sun while driving and create an eco-friendlier, cost-effective, and reliable logistics process.

Thanks to artificial intelligence and a real-time cloud connection, <Eck Solar power Roof works fully autonomously without the need for driver input. Furthermore, IM Efficiency’s patented technology enables its widespread compatibility with all major European truck brands.

<Eck Solar power Roof several applications are as the following:

While driving electricity is supplied by the SolarOnTop instead of generated by the alternator.
While parked electricity can be consumed from the SolarOnTop, instead of idling the engine to generate electricity.
Trailer electrical appliances (e.g. tail lifts and forklifts) can be charged by the SolarOnTop, improving the reliability of the complete vehicle.
By using the IM Efficiency cloud dashboard, fleet operators can track & trace real-time and monitor solar energy power generation.

The typical break-even period is between 2,5 and 4 years. With a lifetime of over 15 years, the SolarOnTop is an affordable & sustainable solution for every fleet operator.

Talson Proudly Celebrated Its 35th Anniversary

Posted on 09/02/202329/03/2023 by Tırsan Admin

One of the leading box manufacturers and Europe’s market leader air cargo semi-trailer manufacturer Talson proudly celebrated its 35^th year anniversary with an event held on 5^th of July in its Venlo Office, in the Netherlands.

Talson was established by a university graduate of aviation technology, Mr. Ir. Kees Thunnissen in 1982. Mr. Thunnissen has successfully merged aircraft design with box trailers and gave birth to Talson trailer made of aluminum and self-supporting upperstructure delivering lower weight and internal heights.

One of the first developers of rollertracks for aircargo, inventor of Talfix® multi-functional load carrying system, Talson keeps delivering innovative, sustainable, reliable trailers assuring the high quality and functionality that are standard for loyal Talson customers for 35 years.

Today, Talson addresses the needs of all box trailers segment with the range including air-cargo, FNA line for perishable goods, pharma and flowers, multi-functional boxes for general cargo, intermodal solutions as well as inner-city logistic boxes with advanced security options.

Talson celebrated this 35-year journey full of success with the participation of representatives from all major Talson customers from the Netherlands and Benelux, suppliers and Dutch key note speakers.

The celebration event started with the Welcome Speech by Mark Engelen, Region Manager, and continued with an interactive panel discussion with the participation of Ralph Hoefman, CEO of Tilburg-Bastianen Group-DAF, Arno Smits, Owner of Smits Opleidingen Oss, Tim de Jong, Editor at BIGTRUCK Online Magazine and Hans van Maanen, Entrepreneur in Trailer development and member of the Dutch TRTA (Technical Road Transport Association).

Main topics of the panel session were autonomous driving of trucks, European regulations, development in modalities in trucks, employer responsibility towards drivers and further developments of LHV (long heavy vehicle) in Europe. According to the panel session, major changes are expected in the world of LHV, politics will drive this development and impact on CO2 emission will be the topic that European politics will follow soon.

Tim de Jong stated that: ”The first change will be seen by increasing the areas in Europe where LHV is accepted.” According to the speakers, because cargo weights are not the same, it will be hard to control the braking manoeuvres of the vehicles and this will lead to dangerous situations.

Talking about dangerous situations, Arno Smits stated that: ”Better driver education related to safe and efficient driving in the Netherlands is still not being taken seriously by the market. One second can be the difference between life and death in transport. Despite getting safer trucks and trailers, the number of accidents with trucks in the Netherlands is still increasing. It should be the employer’s responsibility to get their driver´s home safe.”

Regarding the development of Intermodal Transportation, all participants agreed that it is possible to see an enormous growth in the next 10 years. Likewise, there will be a lot of new railroads, especially the ones that passes the Alps will be much quicker and will dramatically reduce the CO2 emission because of the reduction in the number of locomotives needed. Also the growth of inland container terminals will continue.
