Transport minister
test drives DUO2
at Frode Laursen
“It wasn’t that bad on the bends.”
Danish Minister for Transport Thomas Danielsen (Liberal Party of Denmark (V))
was quite satisfied when, one Monday in September, he was given the chance to
test drive one of Frode Laursen’s DUO2 road trains.
The minister was visiting the company in connection with the presentation of
a bill that will make it possible to drive the extra long trucks on selected routes as
part of a pilot project. The so-called DUO2 road trains, extending to 34 metres in
length, will initially run on a trial road network between Aarhus and Høje-Taastrup.
At Frode Laursen we are delighted at the prospect of transporting twice as
many pallets without emitting twice as much CO2, thereby supporting the green
transition. We already frequently use 25.5-metre-long road trains, and Frode
Laursen’s CEO Thomas Corneliussen sees the DUO2 road trains as an obvious
next step in the green transition.
“Together with alternative fuels, this can have a positive impact on CO2
emissions, and we’re very much hoping that the pilot project will produce good
results so that it can be extended to more of the road network.”
