Åland Post expands transport capacity with new vehicle combinations

Åland Post has introduced two new Scania trucks and temperature-controlled DUO trailers from Schmitz Cargobull for traffic between Åland and Finland. The investment increases transport capacity by almost 30 per cent and marks another step in the company’s long-term efforts towards smarter logistics solutions.

Increased capacity for goods between Åland and the Finnish mainland

From Thursday 11 June, Åland Post will operate new 34-metre vehicle combinations between Åland and the Turku region. With two trailers behind a truck tractor, we can transport more goods per journey.

Load capacity increases from 51 to 66 pallet spaces – an increase of nearly 30 per cent – strengthening our ability to meet our customers’ transport needs.

“We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with Scania and to begin a new collaboration with Schmitz Cargobull,” says Kennet Uotila, Fleet Manager at Åland Post Logistics.

By increasing capacity and reducing fuel consumption for the same volume of goods transported, we are taking another step forward in our long-term efforts to build more sustainable logistics.
