An expert in goods and freight transport solutions, Labb\u00e9 by Gruau has embarked on a lightweighting strategy for its Ultra Light Box body. This approach optimizes payload and fulfills Groupe Gruau’s commitment to be UTILY-TERRE PAR NATURE\u00a9<\/sup>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

For 135 years, the family-owned Gruau group has provided mobility solutions perfectly adapted to the needs of professionals. And this is set to continue. Expanding its offering by leveraging its multi-specialist expertise is indeed one of the commitments outlined in Gruau’s 2030 corporate project; and it is taking shape through the group’s 20 product lines. <\/p>\n\n

Labb\u00e9 by Gruau, a subsidiary of Groupe Gruau, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, is the national benchmark for high-volume transport solutions. The brand is now taking a new step in terms of body lightweighting to meet the specific expectations of logistics professionals. <\/p>\n\n

More Payload, Fewer Co\u00b2 Emissions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Already popular with logistics professionals, the Ultra Light Box body is further improving its performance. Thanks to the work carried out by Labb\u00e9’s R&D department, the new body is 5% lighter than the previous version; a weight saving that immediately translates into additional payload. This optimized load capacity improves journeys and offers numerous other benefits to logistics players. This reduction in body weight also results in lower fuel consumption and thus fewer Co\u00b2 emissions. These developments are part of Groupe Gruau’s and its brands’ RSS2E (Social, Societal, Environmental, and Economic Responsibility) approach. <\/p>\n\n

Proven Reliability, Expanded Range<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Thanks to an optimized design, the weight saving of the Ultra Light Box has not come at the expense of product reliability, far from it. The body is distinguished by its robustness and longevity, regardless of the operating conditions, even the most demanding. Moreover, it is quickly and easily repairable, thanks to the company’s network of dedicated partners and its online spare parts sales site. Popular with logistics professionals, the Ultra Light Box complements a range of transport solutions including the Light Box and the Wood Box, the latter body combining robustness and longevity at an affordable cost. <\/p>\n\n

As an expert in utility mobility solutions, Groupe Gruau relies on its multi-specialist DNA to meet the needs of professionals. Through Labb\u00e9, it positions itself as a major player in the transport of dry goods and freight, offering a range of solutions for chassis cabs, crew cabs, and heavy goods vehicles up to 26 tons. A fine illustration of the UTILY-TERRE PAR NATURE\u00a9 mobility vision championed by Groupe Gruau. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
