Customised tankers

Building on more than 60 years’ experience, we consider high quality, sustainability, and competitive prices to be some of our most important values. We build customised tankers, with a product range that includes feed tankers, liquid manure trailers, chemical trailers, milk tankers, oil/petrol tankers, vacuum tankers, fish tankers, beer tankers, tractor unit structures and various special tankers.

At VM Tarm, we offer you a ‘full-service’ experience, as we undertake to develop, produce and deliver the optimal tanker for your operations.
This can subsequently be followed up with both optimisation and maintenance.

“Many industrial companies are committed to standardisation. That makes perfect sense.

Standardisation means streamlining workflows and automating processes.

In my experience, however, we need to think differently.

The future belongs to companies that do not standardise, but instead custom-design products specifically for individual customers”

– Holger Ross Lauritsen, CEO

We care about our climate

Road tankers and sustainability

CO2-neutral production

Our district heating is produced on solar and biomass. And by buying so-called green certificates, we ensure that electricity and gas are produced from renewable energy sources corresponding to the company’s total electricity consumption. Our production is thus CO2-neutral.

Green transportation

Our forklifts and several of our passenger cars are electric. And our employees get a financial bonus if they cycle or go to work instead of driving.

Energy optimization

Efforts are constantly being made to reduce energy consumption. For example, 90% of the heat in the air from the extraction in the production halls is recycled and we use LED lights for lighting.

Waste recycling

We make a great effort to sort waste and residual products, and we regularly consult with experts about the possibility of sending even more waste fractions for recycling. Our preliminary goal is to completely avoid sending waste to landfill, which has almost succeeded. A large part of our scrap metal is purchased by the Technical School and is thus used for education.

Waste reduction

We strive to reduce our waste volumes. We have thus abolished all one-time service, and we have replaced physical manuals with digital, which saves the environment many thousands of pages of paper a year. In addition, we ask our suppliers to use a minimum of packaging.

Weight optimization

Years ago, VM Tarm a/s started working intensively with weight optimization, i.a. in connection with the Tanker of the Future trailer, which the Danish Environmental Protection Agency gave us support for. Today we produce the lightest tankers on the market. In this way, we help the transport industry to reduce their consumption of diesel and the accompanying CO2 emissions.

Customized is sustainable

VM Tarm a/s make customized solutions that are tailored to the customer’s specific working conditions. This makes work more efficient and avoids waste of resources. In addition, one avoids spending resources on producing functions that are not used.

Stainless steel – a sustainable material

Most of our tanks, undercarriages and components are made of stainless / acid-proof steel. It is a sustainable choice. If stainless steel is treated properly, it can in principle last forever. Stainless steel scrap can also be recycled 100%, and its quality is preserved during recycling.

Repair and maintenance

A large and growing part of our business is repair and service. This fits into the future where we need to take more care of the resources. If it is possible to repair a damaged tanker instead of discarding it, we always recommend this.
