Articles on aerodynamics, fuel savings and material technology, backed by peer-reviewed academic research.
The use-and-discard model is running out of time in heavy vehicles too: vehicles that can be dismantled, remanufactured and recovered serve both the environment and the balance sheet.
Read MoreRemanufacturing takes a used trailer further than repair: brought back to as-new standard under factory conditions, the vehicle and its components gain a second economic life.
Read MoreThe carbon debate usually focuses on the exhaust pipe; but the trailer itself does not burn fuel — its real footprint is the sum of the whole cycle, from raw material to scrap.
Read MoreSteel is one of the rare materials that can be recycled endlessly without loss of properties; the place of scrap-based steel in trailers is not a quality question but a specification question.
Read MoreLarge shippers are passing their emissions targets down the supply chain: a carbon column is now being added to transport tenders alongside price and time.

Read MoreThe three scopes of carbon reporting look bureaucratic at first glance; yet for a fleet manager each one corresponds to a concrete data source.
Read MoreThe paint shop is one of the most emission-intensive points in a trailer factory; water-based systems and powder coating are permanently changing this picture.
Read MoreAs green claims multiply, the certificate speaks: sustainability certifications turn a carrier's environmental performance into proof at the tender table.
