Between 12-13 June, Schmitz Cargobull AG hosted members of the press at its trailer factory in Vreden, located just on the border with the Netherlands. The ostensible reason for our visit was to receive a sneak preview of the company’s newest transport refrigeration product, which will be unveiled at the next IAA Transportation in Hanover: in fact, we learned much more about the company’s plans to expand and modernise its trailer factory, where it produces the ‘S.KO’ refrigerated models and the ‘S.BO’ dry freight range.

Production of Van Hool semi-trailers – which include tankers, container chassis, and flatbeds as well as conventional box and curtainsided trailers – resumed on 29 April following the intervention of GRW, together with VDL Groep, to take over the company.

The combination and weight capacity of 39 tons net is one of the first orders for Videira.

Unveiling the latest grain trailer at Agrishow 2024, Randon says that the agricultural market sector accounts for 60% of on-road semi-trailer production.
