BERGERecotrail presents a pioneering solution at the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2024

New semi-trailer revolutionises load distribution and increases efficiency.

Hanover, 16 September 2024 - Under the motto ‘Drive light, load more - Optimised performance on every journey’, BERGERecotrail will be presenting its latest innovation in the semi-trailer sector at the IAA TRANSPORTATION in Hanover from 17 to 22 September 2024. This advanced development not only significantly improves load distribution, but also significantly increases the practical payload capacity and helps to reduce the number of transport journeys required by up to 10%.

Optimisation of load distribution increases efficiency and reduces costs
The new concept of our semi-trailer with optimised wheelbase revolutionises the loading process: it not only enables safer and more efficient utilisation of the loading space, but also significantly increases the practical payload capacity. The specific adaptations enable form-fit loading and simplified load securing, which significantly improves efficiency in various industries, particularly the beverage and timber industries. These optimisations address common problems such as overloading of the drive axle and unused load space, which can significantly reduce operating costs and emissions. This progress also facilitates the use of the new trailers in fleets with electric tractor units, which also benefit from the reduced load on the drive axle.

Key benefits of journey savings:
• Reduced loading cycles
• CO2 reduction
• Fuel savings
• Lower maintenance costs
• Reduced fleet size - higher ROI
• Mitigation of the labour shortage

Visionary leadership and pioneering innovations
Dr Thomas Lanner, Managing Director of Berger Fahrzeugtechnik, underlines the innovative focus of the latest developments: ‘With our latest semi-trailer, we are setting new standards for efficiency in the transport industry. The improved practical payload not only increases performance, but also the profitability of our customers. This innovation contributes significantly to the sustainable development of freight transport and provides our customers with significant competitive advantages.’
