DSV starts trailer refurbishment drive

[ January 19, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

Forwarding and logistics company DSV has launched an initiative to refurbish rather than replace its trailers. In 2023, it will start by doubling the life of 1,100 trailers in its own workshops in collaboration with equipment service provider TIP Group. Typically, DSV uses a trailer for approximately five years before it returns it to the leasing company or manufacturer and leases a new one. DSV expects to add another full lifecycle of five years of use. Based on TIP Group’s calculations, refurbishment of a used curtainsider emits an estimated 2.7 tonnes of CO2.
