Double deck trailers

Optimizing transport, relieving road congestion

Transport is a major challenge. Parcel volumes are increasing at a significant rate every year, demanding a well-considered general strategy to control the impact of these activities on the environment and on transport infrastructure.

Double deck trailers are one of Bnode’s tangible responses. these DDTs have two 1.8m decks across a standard length of 13.60m. They have 60% more capacity than the historical trailers we have been using allowing to reduce the number of km driven by parcel by one third.

At the end of 2025, Bpost had 37 Double deck trailers and their number will continue to increase in 2026 and beyond. This will enable Bpost to reduce its truck fleet, helping relieve congestion on Belgium’s roads.
