Trailer Design Guideline > Economic and environmental aspects of using HSS in the trailer industry

Semi-trailers

Heavy trucks and trailers are the dominant modes of road freight transport in both Europe and the U.S., and account for a significant proportion of the fuel used in the transport sector.

Either direct or indirect savings can be achieved by weight reduction. If the cargo is limited by volume, a lighter vehicle uses less energy for hauling, and if the cargo is limited by weight, additional cargo can be transported.
