Designed for heavy loads in rough terrains, the trailer tyre is initially available in size 385/65R22.5, with 265/70R19.5 planned for Q4 2024.

TRIDEC, as a part of JOST, is axle-agnostic, meaning it can service customers using all major axle brands (BPW, SAF-Holland etc) obviously including Jost Axles.  T&BB interviewed Johan Nieuwenhuis, Sales Director at TRIDEC to get a better sense of the company’s product offerings and its international footprint.

Sunswap will use the money to support the further development, production, and commercialisation of its technology: solar panels mounted on the roof of a reefer trailer to supply energy to the refrigeration unit, thus reducing the fuel consumption of the whole truck-trailer combination.

In our last feature on Maxion Wheels in Turkey, I made only brief mention of a very recent and significant development at the Manisa site: the construction of a new plant for forged aluminium wheels, designed not for light vehicles but for heavy trucks and other commercial vehicles. The decision to enter the CV aluminium wheel market was announced by Maxion Wheels at the last IAA Transportation in 2022; the news is important enough that it deserves an article to itself, and so I interviewed Matt Brest ahead of IAA Transportation 2024, where Maxion Wheels will show its forged aluminium wheels to the public for the first time.
