LCV * Canadian Trucks Get Bigger
Pilot program to assess longer combination vehicles in Ontario
Ottawa,Ontario,CAN -The Journal of Commerce, by John Gallagher -Apr 17, 2009: -- Ontario, Canada will begin a pilot program this summer to assess the benefits of pulling two 53-ft. trailers behind one cab... The one-year program will include up to 100 vehicles. Longer combination vehicles, known as LCVs, are already allowed in Western Canada, Quebec and 20 states in the United States... Studies conducted by the Canadian government showed LCVs were involved in 60 per cent fewer collisions than single trailer trucks. While the vehicles can double the volume pulled by a single cab, the test will not allow the vehicles to carry more weight than existing single tractor-trailers...
