We are constantly seeking new ways to develop our production more ecological and more energy efficient. In 2020 we will introduce a new structure in our transportation bodies that gives them an excellent insulation capacity, thanks to a thicker layer of insulating material. The better insulated structure has great significance to ATP classified equipment in particular.
The new element- and door solutions are also a step towards more environmental-friendly production methods. Less chemicals are needed in the production process, and the products are easier to recycle at the end of their life span.

The amended regulation concerning the maximum dimensions of articulated vehicles came into force on 21st January 2019. The amendment allows even longer, up to 34.5-metre articulated vehicles to be used on Finnish highways. The amended regulation has a significant effect on employment. VAK manufactures extra-long trailers and is currently recruiting dozens of new employees at its factory in Vahto. The recruitment of new employees to the new maintenance service point that is being built in Lieto is also about to begin.
