First Gert Snel ecocombis drive between Spa and Colruyt in Lessines

The East Flanders company already deploys five of these longer and heavier trucks (lzv’s) in the Netherlands, where it has a branch in Weert. “But now, since last Thursday, two have also been driving in Wallonia, where we have the licence in our pocket. They shuttle daily between water and soft drinks producer Spadel in Spa and Colruyt’s distribution centre, at their maximum load of 60 tonnes,” says business manager Gert Snel. As a reminder, a ‘normal’ combination has a maximum permitted weight of 44 tonnes in Belgium. No manoeuvring problems were noted at either the loading or unloading site.
