Alura Tanker Trailers Are on Their Way to Cuba Again!
Alura Trailer delivers another batch of high-quality aluminium fuel tankers to Cuba — engineered with bottom loading, ADR compliance, regional design adaptations and premium European components.
Another Shipment of Alura Aluminium Tankers Heading to Cuba
Alura Trailer continues strengthening its presence in Latin America with another shipment of aluminium fuel tanker trailers heading to Cuba. Designed specifically for regional operating conditions, these tankers meet the strictest ADR / DOT / ECE safety standards and offer high corrosion resistance, reduced tare weight and long-term performance in tropical climates.
Every unit is produced using full-automatic welding systems, certified aluminium alloys, and high-micron protective coatings — ensuring both durability and safe fuel transport.
Built with Aluminium for Maximum Efficiency
Alura’s tanker trailers are manufactured using certified aluminium 5454-H111 / 5083 alloys, known for their excellent combination of weight savings and structural strength.
- Up to 30% lighter than steel tankers
- Lower fuel consumption during operations
- Higher payload efficiency thanks to reduced tare weight
- Superior corrosion resistance for coastal & humid environments
This makes aluminium the best choice for Caribbean, Middle Eastern, African and coastal markets.
Bottom Loading & Modern Fuel Distribution Technology
All tankers delivered to Cuba are equipped with advanced bottom loading systems, ensuring high safety during refueling operations and preventing vapour exposure.
The bottom loading system includes:
- API Bottom Loading Valves
- Emergency foot valves (pneumatic)
- Overfill protection sensors
- Vapour recovery system
- Compartmentalized tank design (3–7 compartments)
These systems comply fully with ADR standards and international fuel transport regulations.
Designed According to Regional Requirements
Each country has its own operational and legal conditions — slope angles, fuel types, climate, road quality, and maintenance capacity. Alura Trailer designs every tanker shipment in line with Cuba’s specific regional requirements:
- Reinforced chassis for mixed asphalt/stone roads
- Anti-corrosion exterior coating for coastal humidity
- Optimized axle load distribution for local regulations
- Heavy-duty suspension systems for rugged terrain
- Enhanced thermal stability for tropical climate
This ensures long service life and maximum reliability in demanding Caribbean environments.

Case Study: Fuel Distribution Improvement for Cuba’s Energy Sector
How Alura’s aluminium fuel tanker trailers improved distribution efficiency, reduced operational losses and enhanced safety for a major Cuban energy distributor operating across Havana — Matanzas — Cienfuegos — Santiago.
🔍 Project Overview
The client is one of Cuba’s key fuel distribution authorities responsible for supplying gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel to national storage facilities, regional depots and service stations.
Their existing steel tanker fleet had become increasingly inefficient due to high tare weight, corrosion in coastal zones and outdated loading systems incompatible with modern safety standards.
⚙️ Key Challenges
- High fuel consumption caused by heavy steel tankers
- Corrosion affecting operational safety in humid coastal climate
- Slow loading times due to top-loading processes
- Regulatory pressure to migrate to ADR/modern safety systems
- Frequent maintenance stops due to ageing fleet
🎯 Project Objectives
To modernize the fleet with ADR-compliant aluminium tankers, minimize operational cost, improve loading safety, and ensure long-term performance in Caribbean climate conditions.
