ARI 458 Pickup in use as a service and maintenance vehicle inside the Storstrøm Bridge in Denmark
The ARI 458 electric transporter as a pickup truck proves that electric vehicles are not only a sustainable solution for urban road traffic. Thanks to its compact design and emission-free technology, it is also suitable for demanding applications away from the usual road network. Two of these environmentally friendly vehicles will soon be in operation inside the Storstrøm Bridge in Denmark.
Efficient mobility inside the Storstrøm Bridge
The new Storstrøm Bridge connects the islands of Falster and Masnedø in the Sjælland region and is part of the larger European long-distance transport axis that includes the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel. With a length of 4.5 km, it is a central infrastructure measure for traffic between Denmark and Germany. It is being built by the Italian bridge construction company Itinera S.p.A..
When the bridge is completed, the two ARI 458 pickups will be stationed inside the bridge - one at the northern and one at the southern end. From there, they will start their inspection and service runs along the structure.
Why the ARI 458 is ideal for bridge operations
The ARI 458 Pickup was designed for confined and specialized areas of operation. Its compact dimensions allow it to move freely inside the bridge without bumping into anything. This is a decisive advantage over conventional maintenance vehicles.
Some advantages of the ARI 458 pickup truck for use inside the bridge:
-
Narrow design: Perfect for confined spaces inside the bridge.
-
Environmentally friendly electric drive: No exhaust emissions, ideal for use in enclosed areas.
-
120 km range with lead-gel battery: Reliable and long-lasting journeys for maintenance teams.
-
Easy charging at a normal socket: No expensive charging infrastructure required.
The use of electric vehicles such as the ARI 458 shows that sustainable mobility solutions can also be realized in infrastructure maintenance and the construction industry. The Storstrøm Bridge is part of a larger European transportation project that combines modern technologies with environmental friendliness.
By opting for the ARI 458 pickups, the operators are relying on a compact, efficient and sustainable solution for the coming decades.
