COMET Hydrocarbon Tanker Semi-Trailers are specifically designed to meet the requirements of international ADR standards (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) as well as the specifications of major oil companies such as Total, ExxonMobil, and Shell. They are also tailored to the needs of leading local players in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) like Oilibya, Naftal, and SNDP. With capacities of up to 45,000 liters, these tankers can transport a wide range of petroleum products, including light fuels (gasoline, diesel), heavy fuel oil, crude oil, and kerosene (jet fuel). Depending on local requirements and applicable regulations, we offer various configurations, including multi-compartment tanks with up to 8 sections, enabling the efficient transport of different fuel types in a single trip.
