« The issue of the continuous load weighing is an old matter but we haven’t found the adequate system on the market »

«Thanks to our collaboration with Newsteo, we can answer a triple problematic : maximise the vehicles load respecting the authorized limits and reinforcing our drivers’ security, prevent our carriers from the risk of hardened concrete build-up in the drum and improve our billing system ».

Claude Etienne, , Logistics Manager of the Concrete activity.
