And that’s thepoint; it’s all about increasingefficiency, maximising productivityand doing this in a safe andsimple way for the driver.”The new design removes the needfor multiple tarpaulin fasteners,central stanchions and looseparts such as rigging boards.Schmitz Cargobull has apermanent demonstratoravailable for fleets in theUK to trial on request.71Tachographs Spread.indd 71 09/05/2012 12:55
