Aberdeen-based oil and gas logistics specialist RTH Lubbers has signed up for the UK Government’s trial of longer semi-trailers as the company looks at ways to further reduce carbon emissions.
It is one of the first firms in the UK to take up the scheme and will trial two trailers as part of its daily transport operations on the company’s Aberdeen-Great Yarmouth overnight route, which services its core oil and gas market.
Longer trailers mean more load space, resulting in each trip being more efficient and environment friendly.
