Energy-efficient truck save costs and reduce emissions

A Serbian transport services provider upgrades its vehicles, reduces fuel costs as well as emissions with WebSEFF loan.

The ExpressTrans Company, Serbian independent owner-operator providing transportation services both on the national and international level was established in 1993. The company has a vehicle fleet of 100, of which 15 trains with car freight trucks of the world’s largest manufacturers.

To maintain its vehicles functioning at the highest standard ExpressTrans decided to replace its five existing trucks with new ones. ExpressTrans applied for a loan through a partner financial institution and secured € 474,000 and the EU provided an incentive of € 20,000.

The WebSEFF team performed the analysis of the investment, its technical-economic parameters and risks to make sure the investment leads to sufficient energy savings and reduction of CO2 emissions.

This facility was developed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and is supported by the EU and the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF).
