The Semi-Trailermarket trends are as follows:
Rising demand for refrigerated semi-trailer
The refrigerated semi-trailer has gained significant importance due to increasing cold chain logistics. Moreover, the refrigerated semi-trailer is engineered to haul goods at a specific temperature. Besides, temperature of the refrigerated semi-trailers can be maintained at lower temperature with the help of mechanical refrigeration system powered by small displacement diesel engines, or utilize carbon dioxide. Due to rising emission from refrigerated semi-trailers, the quest for alternative fuel has gained momentum. For instance, in 2019, Chereau unveiled its first hydrogen refrigerated semi-trailers to reduce environmental impacts.
Increasing adoption of telematics
Telematics have changed the dynamics of fleet delivery services. With introduction of telematics in semi-trailers, customer would get more insights about trailer visibility and real-time data. Additionally, scheduling delivery and communication with in-cab telematics devices is possible with adoption of telematics. Moreover, integration of telematics in semi-trailers have amplified the number of partnerships across the firms. For instance, in 2019, SkyBitz, a company operating in IoT telematics solutions, unveiled strategic fleet partnership with Omnitracs, the global pioneer of fleet management solutions. The partnership is anticipated to deliver advanced fleet and trailer-tracking solutions for greater data insight.
