Global launch of shipping technology at SITL Dubai

Trailer and self propelled vehicle manufacturer leader, Gaussin Manugistique, plans to hold a global launch of an innovative new Automotive Terminal Trailer (ATT) during SITL Dubai 2009 next month.

The engineering company, a specialist in wheeled handling systems, will take the opportunity to showcase its latest hardware, a self propelled machine combining both a truck with connection and semi trailer, to the world.
