Many are familiar with the latest stunt from popular actor Jean Claude Van Damme when he performed a split on top of two Volvo Globetrotter trucks. That stunt attracted over 70 million views on YouTube alone and reinstated the Volvo truck brand as one of the most reliable industrial brands in Europe. The vast majority of whatever we Maltese consume, and also whatever our industry produces and exports, requires reliable, efficient and accessible modes of transport and delivery. As a leading transport and logistics company, Express Trailers has always recognised the importance of continuous investment in its fleet of trucks and trailers in order to sustain its growing business demands.

Express Trailers has just added four brand new Volvo Globetrotter trucks to its growing fleet which now includes 32 international vehicles, 150 trailers and 80 local vehicles.

“Our fleet, together with our workforce, are our company’s most important asset. Our trailers mirror our hard-earned reputation which has made Express Trailers a natural leader in the transport and logistics sector in Malta. Our drivers share in this pride and carry it with them everywhere they go,” said Franco Azzopardi, Chairman and CEO of Express Group.

“Reliability delivers trust and this is why this recent addition of four new trucks is a very important milestone for us because it cements once again our commitment to strengthen our reliability and the already important service we deliver to all our customers. This is what led us to invest in the acquisition of these new trucks bringing the total fleet to 80,” added Mr Azzopardi.

The four new trucks, together with the rest of the fleet, are all monitored via a computerised GPRS system from head office. This means that the customer always knows where the trailers are and also that the required temperatures are being maintained in the case of temperature-controlled transport.

These trucks are also equipped with ADR equipment for the transportation of hazardous cargo, are more fuel efficient and offer added safety features namely due to the new Volvo Dynamic Steering technology. This technology is purposely designed to increase safety, improve the driver’s working environment and reduce the risk of accidents.
