The two new semi-trailers designed by the EU-funded TRANSFORMERS project offer better aerodynamics and load efficiency, thus helping to reduce energy use by over 30 %.
Today’s semi-trailer combinations are very much a one-size-fits-all solution, optimised for a limited number of use cases and for maximum payload. In light of an ever-increasing need for transport efficiency and optimisation, there’s a need to rethink the design of these semi-trailers.
