ADR Tanker

An ADR tanker is a specialist road vehicle designed to safely transport hazardous substances such as chemicals, fuels, or waste, in accordance with the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) regulations. These tankers are manufactured from durable materials and fitted with advanced safety systems to prevent leaks and protect public health and the environment during transit.

The "ADR" in its name comes from the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (or Accord relatif au transport international des marchandises Dangereuses par Route in French).

Key Features of an ADR Tanker

• Constructed to precise standards: ADR tankers are built to withstand the chemical characteristics of dangerous goods and must undergo a specific ADR test before being certified for use.

• Enhanced safety equipment: They are equipped with features such as spill containment systems, pressure relief valves, and secure loading mechanisms to minimise the risk of accidents.

• Range of hazardous goods transported: These vehicles can carry various types of hazardous materials, including flammable liquids, corrosives, and toxic substances, as well as other items like milk or waste.

• Regulatory compliance: ADR tankers comply with strict technical requirements for construction, equipment, and operation as set out by the ADR agreement, making them suitable for international road transport.

• Driver qualification: Drivers transporting dangerous goods in ADR tankers must hold a special ADR licence, which involves specific training and assessment.
