More Efficiency and CO2 Reduction: LHV Operations Now in Germany and Belgium

CSE is on a mission. We aim to help our customers as efficiently as possible while contributing to CO2 reduction. To achieve this, we have already specialized in the use of Longer and Heavier Vehicles (LHVs) in the Netherlands. Over the past few years, we’ve taken the next step: expanding our LHV operations into Germany and Belgium.

To operate LHVs, a transport company must meet strict requirements to gain approval. Our Customer Care Specialist, Joenoes Siahaija, played a key role in obtaining certifications in our neighboring countries.

“For example, we equipped the latest series of LHV trailers with advanced camera systems, allowing us to obtain a certificate in 2023 to operate in Germany,” Joenoes explains. “Belgium has different regulations, but as of this year, we’re also allowed to operate our LHVs there. This means we can support even more customers with efficient and sustainable solutions.”

“Docking, loading, and unloading are just as smooth as with regular trailers.”

Through-loading Platforms
What makes our LHVs unique is that they are through-loading combinations, designed for maximum efficiency. Joenoes elaborates: “We’ve specifically modified our trailers with through-loading platforms. This eliminates the need to disconnect dolly trailers, ensuring that docking, loading, and unloading are just as smooth as with regular trailers. Moreover, LHVs inherently reduce the number of loading and unloading moments for our clients, enabling significant efficiency gains.”

Ecocombis
LHVs are often referred to as ecocombis—not only because they save costs but also due to their environmental benefits, making them a perfect fit for our mission. “LHVs can transport larger loads, significantly reducing CO2 emissions,” Joenoes explains. “What’s even better for the climate is that part of our LHV fleet is electric. In short, these trailers improve the overall logistics process—and now also in Germany and Belgium
