MANSIO's unique IT solution enables cross-company relay transportation. Thereby, the semi-trailer is handed over from one truck to another at a parking lot along the route. After this “trailer swap”, the truckers drive back to their particular home regions with their own semi-truck and the swapped trailer from the opposite direction. In the MANSIO transportation system, empty runs to find return loads and parking-search-traffic are eliminated. Semi-trucks can be used very cost-efficiently in a second shift and - by that - generate additional revenue. In the future, the MANSIO trailer handover system will also allow battery-electric trucks with short ranges to be used on certain sections of long distance transport routes.
