The EU allowed each member state to usecombinations 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 of70 tons of maximum load (called Duotrailer). A route in real conditions is used andcomparisons between different vehicle typologies (Trailer, Gigatrailer and Duotrailer) interms of fuel consumption and emissions are performed. Results in the route tested showthat, as expected, the highest consumption correspond to Duotrailers. However, savingswith regards to trailers are around 22 % (per ton) and 26 % (per ton and m3), and savingswith 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 higherin Duotrailers, the load capacity is higher. PB Universidad de Burgos.
