SOLO TRUCKS

Solo trucks are compact and highly maneuverable freight vehicles, widely used when fast, reliable, and efficient transport is needed for small to medium-sized shipments in terms of volume and weight. They are particularly suitable for express deliveries, urban logistics operations, urgent shipments, deliveries to locations with restricted access, as well as for cargo that does not require the full capacity of a standard articulated truck.

This type of vehicle stands out with low operating costs, high maneuverability, fast loading and unloading capability, and easier access to restricted areas – such as city centers, industrial zones, or construction sites.
