Royal Burgers, in partnership with Italian dealer MultiTrax, logistics provider Italtrans, and supermarket chain Esselunga, has implemented a Burgers Double Deck trailer to advance sustainable practices in retail logistics within Italy. The trailer is now operational for daily distribution routes connecting the logistics hubs of Pioltello, Biandrate, and Sesto Fiorentino.
This deployment leverages the double-deck loading system to significantly increase the volume of goods transported per journey. By maximizing the capacity of each trailer, the partners anticipate a reduction in the total number of required transport movements.
For freight forwarders and operations managers involved in Italian retail supply chains, this development signals a potential shift towards more efficient road transport solutions. Increased capacity per vehicle could lead to optimized routing, fewer trucks on the road for the same volume of goods, and potentially a more stable cost structure for transport services on these specific lanes. It also highlights a growing trend among shippers to prioritize sustainable transport options, which might influence future tender requirements and carrier selections.
