Applications open for Trailer Innovation 2017: Enter Now!
The international jury of the “Trailer Innovation” is sending out a special request to all manufacturers, service providers and suppliers from the trailer industry to participate in this year’s round of the bi-ennial competition. Since 2002, the Trailer Innovation Awards programme features a number of categories, seven in all for the 2016 running of the competition, such as:
- Concept
- Chassis
- Body
- Components
- Safety
- Environment
- Smart Trailer
Innovations of all types and size (component, material, detail solution, system solution) are welcome, provided they apply to trailers, semi-trailers or bodies and not directly to motor vehicles. Prototypes and complete solutions are equally eligible, but nothing more than two years old. The closing date for entries is 30 June 2016.
The most important criterion is the contribution made by the innovation to increased efficiency in road freight transport. Does it deliver significant benefits to vehicle operators, for example, in enhanced security, faster processing or lower weight? And what are the economic benefits? How significant are the technical improvements? Minor updates and facelifts do not qualify for the Trailer Innovation Awards.
