Hello,
I am translating some tender documents for a gas company regarding the supply of drilling equipment and am struggling with the meaning of 'autotreni botte':
L’APPALTATORE provvederà alla fornitura e trasportodei prodotti sfusi (barite e bentonite) dalle sue basi e/o depositi all’AREA DEI SERVIZI e/o alle sedi indicate dal COMMITTENTE. L’APPALTATORE, per tale attività, impiegherà autotreni/autotreni botte con classe di peso compresa tra 28 e 30 Ton.
Thank you

tank trucks and/or tank truck trailers
Basically autotreno is a synonym for an articulated road vehicle, or for a road-train type of vehicle, i.e. a rigid truck towing a trailer of similar size.
