What are the benefits of electric trucks for animal feed delivery? Coué TRM Group highlights the advantages.

,
Coué TRM electric truck trial with Nourience to reduce noise during animal feed deliveries to farms.

A first trial with Nourience to assess electric truck performance in real operating conditions.

We recently joined Nourience for an initial electric truck trial as part of our bulk animal feed delivery operations in Laval, in France’s Mayenne departement (53)

What benefits did we observe during the trial?

This real-world trial gave us the opportunity to assess the pratical benefits of electric power:

  • Quiet operation, appreciated by livestock farmers and local residents
  • Less noise disturbance and reduced stress for animals
  • Lower transport-related emissions
  • Greater driver comfort

Driving range, payload, delivery route planning… The trial also helped us better understand the operational adjustements needed to gradually integrate electric trucks into our operations.

A successful trial that provided valuable insights!

Thank you to Nourience for placing their trust in us!

Importing into Mayenne (53): how to use special customs procedures to reduce costs and optimize your logistics?

, , , , , , ,
Sotecan International dédouanement import en Mayenne à Laval avec entrepôt sous douane et régimes particuliers

Are you importing goods into Mayenne (53) ?

Have you ever heard of special customs procedures? 

These customs simplifications, often overlooked by companies, allow you to defer or eliminate import duties and taxes.

From our base in Laval, the SOTECAN team supports you in implementing these solutions to enhance your competitiveness, while reducing your fiscal and logistical constraints:

  • Bonded warehouse at Coué Logistique in Laval (53): Store your non-cleared goods (all types) in a secure, customs-approved environment.
    Duties and taxes are deferred until the goods are released, providing a direct cash flow advantage.
  • Special customs procedures:
    • Inward processing
      Import raw materials or components for processing, repair, or re-export without incurring duties or taxes.
    • Customs authorizations:
      • Temporary Storage Facility (IST)
        • Store goods upon arrival in the EU for up to 90 days, giving you time to finalize logistical or commercial decisions.
      • Temporary Storage Facility (LADT)
        • Short-term storage (4 to 5 days) under customs control, offering maximum flexibility for inbound flows.

These procedures are not limited to large companies. With the right support, any importing business can benefit from them.

As a Registered Customs Representative (RDE) and AEO-certified operator, we provide:

  • Simplified management of your operations
  • Customs expertise for all types of goods
  • Optimized logistics coordination
  • Tailor-made support
  • A dedicated local contact
