A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
At Ewals Cargo Care, we believe that safety is paramount. As part of our ongoing commitment to improving road safety, we replace our trucks every 4-5 years, ensuring that our fleet remains equipped with the latest safety technologies and complies with all relevant regulations.
We anticipate delivering our first trucks with these new safety features in January 2025. By investing in these advanced safety features, we are fulfilling our legal obligations and demonstrating our dedication to protecting the safety of our drivers, other road users, and the transported cargo.
