Volume transport trucks
Frequently Asked Questions
A combi truck, also called a LHV (long heavy vehicle), is a combination of a truck with ééone or more trailers. These vehicles can be up to about 25.25 meters long and are specifically designed to transport large volumes with relatively little weight.
The biggest advantage of an LHV truck is its greater loading capacity. This means fewer trips are needed, which results in lower transport costs and more efficient use of the fleet. This makes combi trucks especially interesting for companies that transport a lot of volume.
The price of a used combi truck depends on factors such as year of construction, condition, make and composition of the combination. Generally prices are higher than standard trucks because of the extra capacity.

What is an LHV truck?
An LHV truck (Long Heavy Vehicle), also known as an EMS truck (European Modular System) or double trailer combination, is a tractor unit set up to pull two trailers or a dolly-coupled trailer combination. The total length can reach up to 25.25 metres under European regulations, significantly increasing cargo capacity compared to a standard 18.75 metre combination.
LHV combinations are built for efficiency in high-frequency transport operations where cubic capacity matters more than payload weight. Typical applications include retail logistics, e-commerce distribution, paper and packaging transport and any operation where freight fills the trailer before reaching the weight limit.
Why buy an LHV truck from Europe?
The Netherlands and Scandinavia are the most mature markets for LHV and EMS transport in Europe. Dutch and Scandinavian operators run these combinations daily on national and cross-border routes, meaning the used vehicles available from this region are well-maintained, properly specced for the job and supported by a strong service network history. At Hesselink Trucks our stock comes directly from these fleets.
