· Safety
Unfortunately, the transportation industry is struggling with an image problem. At DTM we are doing everything we can to change this. Our trucks are always equipped with a blind spot camera. Our drivers have also taken a course about ADR (Agreement on the transportation of Dangerous goods by Road). With these and other measures, we try to ensure the safety of both our drivers and the other people on the road.

· Dynafleet
Our new vehicles are being tracked with the Volvo Dynafleet track & trace system. Thanks to this technology, we have a real time overview of our entire fleet. Not only can we track the exact location of the vehicles, we can also monitor the car’s consumption and the driving time and rest periods of our drivers.

· Euro 5

Since 2008, DTM has chosen to already comply with the new Euro 5 emission standards. We are an environmentally aware company and we want to do what we can to protect the environment. Several of our newly delivered Volvo trucks comply with this Euro 5 standard.
In order to meet the new emissions requirements that are being introduced in Europe, new solutions are required for diesel engines, combustion processes and exhaust after-treatment techniques.
Volvo is at the very forefront as regards the development of exhaust reducing techniques. A two-fold solution has been developed for meeting the Euro 4 and Euro 5 requirements: diesel engines with even more efficient combustion, along with after-treatment of exhaust gases using the AdBlue additive and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction).

The new Euro norms for exhaust reduction impose tough demands on all vehicle manufacturers. The difference in exhaust emissions requirements between a Euro 3 and a Euro 4 engine is considerable. Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) have to be cut from 5 to 3.5 g/kWh, a reduction of 30%. Particulate (PM) emissions must drop from 0.1 to 0.02 g/kWh. This corresponds to a reduction of no less than 80%
The below diagram shows the dramatic decrease in NOx and PM necessary to meet the Euro 4 and especially Euro 5 legislations:
