67 percent of road freight transport in the EU is national,
and regional freight traffic is booming. Changing consumer behavior and strong
growth in the mail-order industry have made this transport segment the largest
goods handling sector in Europe. Trucks in regional use need to be especially
tough. Frequent braking and acceleration, maneuvering in tight spaces and
different load conditions on changing road surfaces place heavy demands on all
vehicle components.
