ALE director South Africa Jan Yntema said: “We can see important long-term opportunities in South-Africa for wind energy and the Nooteboom trailers are widely known to set the trend in innovative solutions for wind turbine transportatoin. The superior quality, the specific adjustments for South Africa and the after-service they offer have been the deciding factors here.”
