Schmitz offers TPMS on tipping trailer range as CO2 reductions incentives are launched
By Jim Gibbins - 1st January 2021
Germany – Announcing that in 2021, the German Federal Government intends to further promote investments in modern trailer technologies as part of the ‘Fleet Renewal Programme for Commercial Vehicles’, Europe’s largest trailer builder Schmitz Cargobull AG of Horstmar is offering a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS*) to tipper trailer operators; it is well known that under-inflated tyres or tyre pressure not matching the load on any vehicle can waste fuel and increase carbon footprint.
SCB explained that subsidies across Germany are planned for technologies that contribute to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in road transport. Boris Billich, chief sales officer at Schmitz Cargobull said: “With our TPMS for tipper trailers, our customers can already invest in an option that contributes to CO2 reduction and will most probably be promoted and subsidised as part of the German government’s planned subsidy programme.”
