00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Larrodé Pellicer, Emilio author Muerza Marín, Victoria author 2021-07 European countries has been working in the last ten years in the implementation of high capacity vehicles in road networks. The EU allowed each member state to use combinations of cargo carriers with a modular concept, the European Modular Systems (EMS). This paper analyses the real behavior in road test of the Euro Modular vehicle of 70 tons of maximum load (called Duotrailer). A route in real conditions is used and comparisons between different vehicle typologies (Trailer, Gigatrailer and Duotrailer) in terms of fuel consumption and emissions are performed. Results in the route tested show that, as expected, the highest consumption correspond to Duotrailers. However, savings with regards to trailers are around 22 % (per ton) and 26 % (per ton and m3), and savings with regards to Gigatrailers are around 9 % (per ton) and 23 % (per ton and m3) considering that the charge factor is higher in Duotrailers. Although emissions are higher in Duotrailers, the load capacity is higher. 978-84-18465-12-3 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/6906 10.36443/10259/6906 Logística Operaciones Transporte de mercancías Camiones Trailers Logistics Operations Transportation of goods Trucks European Modular Systems performances comparison in freight transport operations
