Kögel: Efficient Trailers and Semi-Trailers for Logistics

KÖGEL wants to fulfill truck drivers' wishes at the transport logistic 2019 trade fair in Munich. As a manufacturer of trailers/semi-trailers, the company specifically implements the development wishes of truck drivers.

Trailer development: coordination with truck driver wishes

The KÖGEL company produces a wide range of trailers. The company is the third largest manufacturer of semi-trailers in Europe. An important goal is to make life as easy as possible for drivers in everyday trucking.

To achieve this, drivers were asked for their wishes on how such a trailer should be constructed. KÖGEL then incorporated their wishes into the product development process.

Making life easier for truck drivers

One development that has emerged in this way is the driving slider for closing the side of the semi-trailer. This enables simple, weight-optimized opening and closing of the trailer. The handling is really designed to make the driver's work easier.

Container chassis with weight optimization

The company will also be exhibiting a container chassis at transport logistic 2019. Weight optimization is very important in the port and container sector. Here, KÖGEL is in a very good position compared to the competition.
