Low unladen weight, trans-parent data exchange and emission-free cooling unit – at

the transport logistic trade fair Schmitz Cargobull will continue on its path toward the “Smart Trailer World” begun in 2018. “With the S.CS UNIVERSAL X-LIGHT curtainsider, we have cut the unladen weight down to less than five tonnes without any loss of robustness for the trailer com-pared to its predecessor,” said Sales Director Boris Billich in a statement announcing the product premiere for the transport logistic trade fair in Munich. The lightweight trailer weighing upwards of 4,975 kg is aimed at all customers who often transport heavy goods in large quantities. The development engineers critically evalu-ated every part of the full package. They found ways to reduce the weight of the trailer floor, wheels, corner supports and the axles. Steel has now been partly replaced

by aluminium to gain extra load ca-pacity. At the same time, the chassis retains its high robustness. Further-more, the chassis neck height has been reduced by 30 mm to 150 mm. This increases in the available load-ing volume in the interior.

The new S.CU cooling unit model features an extensive range of enhancements. A modern com mon-rail diesel engine with a drive power of 19 kilowatts now provides the cooling and heating output

in the refrigerated box body. The engineers have successfully reduced its weight by 50 kg compared to the predecessor model and also cut the fuel consumption by up to 10 per cent. Another positive side effect is the reduced noise emission which benefits drivers and the surround-

ing environment. This is due to the more smoothly running engine with cutting-edge diesel technology as well as the silence kit, which has been further optimised. Of course, the cooling unit also complies with the Stage V emission regulation which has been in force since the beginning of 2019.

Schmitz Cargobull is further extending its leading role in trailer technology with new functions of the TrailerConnect telematics sys-tem as well as the enhanced Trailer-Connect portal. With geofencing, the safe transport of goods becomes individually controllable for the logistics and transport industry, while fleet management becomes even more efficient and transparent.  sh

Every kilogram counts

In international goods transport the maximum payload plays a crucial role. Transport compa-

nies need trailers with cargo areas that can be efficiently utilised for different types of cargo. With the new S.CS UNIVERSAL X-LIGHT curtainsider semi-trailer, Schmitz Cargobull offers the ideal trailer solution for this purpose. The lightweight semi-trailer weighing upwards of 4,975 kg is the efficient transport solution when it comes to transporting heavy goods in large quantities.

To gain even more payload, a new floor concept has been developed and aluminium components have been integrated into the chassis and body. Without any compromises in terms of the chassis’ robustness. Furthermore, the chassis neck height has been reduced by 30 mm to 150 mm. This increases the

available loading volume in the interior.

The modularity of the body enables the S.CS UNIVERSAL X-LIGHT curtainsider semi-trailer to be de-ployed flexibly. Since every minute counts in logistics, the combina-tion with the POWER CURTAIN body is especially efficient. Normal loading and unloading processes are faster as the body does without

Increasing data potentials

Dear Readers,

Today, information shapes every economic sector. In spite of many upheavals, the change now underway is only in its initial stages. It is clear that goods transport, in particular, will be massively digital-ised and analysed. A milestone on this path is marked by the “Smart Trailer World”. The focus is on the implementation of the “100% SMART” strategy. We are now factory-fitting every refrigerated box body with a telematics unit as standard, with the curtainsiders and all other trailer typed to follow in the medium term. The increasing fitting of the trailers with sensors as well as the data exchange via interfaces provides transparency of cargo data and load conditions. This information about the load is becoming ever more important to shippers, as they want to know where the cargo is as well as its present condition. Telematics offers ever more ways of supplying this information and also a means of influencing the individual transport steps.

Digitalisation creates added value even in the service area. Our new “beUpToDate” app, for example, offers data-based remote diagnosis, increases trailer availability and reduces repair costs. Virtual reality is used in Service Partner training and spare parts are appropriately assigned to each trailer via QR code scanning.

We look forward to further actively shaping the “Smart Trailer World” with you.

editorialGetting back on the road as fast as possible

In case of a breakdown, trans-port companies naturally want to get back onto the road as

soon as possible. As part of its modular service portfolio, Schmitz Cargobull offers services ranging from the replacement of a worn tyre to full breakdown assistance across Europe. This means that, in the event of a repair, customers are able to resume and smoothly pursue their daily business as soon as possible.

With the Full Service Trailer, Full Service Tyres and Full Service Cooling Unit service modules – the latter covering especially repairs to

Emission-free coolingWith the S.CUe, Schmitz Cargobull has put a cooling unit on the market that is powered solely by electricity and intelligently helps to save resources.

E lectric mobility concepts can help to permanently reduce harmful emissions. The

Schmitz Cargobull S.CUe cool-ing unit also makes an important contribution to CO2 reduction. The electrically driven “electric semi-trailer cooling unit” (S.CUe) shows its special strengths primarily in distribution transport, especially with a view towards emission-free delivery in urban areas.

The intelligent electric system with an integrated inverter reliably cools and heats the freight solely via its powerful batteries, with a cooling capacity of up to 15,900 watts and

a heating capacity of up to 9,100 watts. These energy storage devices are fitted on the landing gear and in the rear area of the reefer semi-trailer so cleverly that the trailer’s loading capacity is unaffected and enough space for a pallet box remains. A modular system enables scaling of the battery capacity to a total energy of 65 kilowatt hours. The weight of the cooling unit is only slightly higher than that of a conventional diesel-driven unit.

Another new feature is a smart control unit which detects any opening of the door of the reefer semi-trailer and automatically

The Full Service Trailer package covers all repairs of wearing parts including labour and materials, maintenance, legally required checks and breakdown assistance across Europe for a fixed month-ly price. In the case of the Full Service Tyres service module, tyre impact damage and the tractor unit tyres can also be included as an option. Around 1,700 Service Partners and approximately 1,500

Schmitz Cargobull tyre service partners are available for the service. Another approx. 2,500 tyre partners are available via manufacturer networks.  sh

The new S.CUe has a cooling capacity of 15,900 watts.

bus connection with the central TrailerConnect telematics unit, the CTU 3, which in turn controls the door locking system. By entering a four-digit PIN, which is stored in the TrailerConnect portal and can be edited, the rear door can be safe-ly opened and locked. Appropriate symbols and LEDs on the pad itself show the current status of the door locking system at all times.

On trailers with the Schmitz Cargobull S.CU cooling unit, the key pad for operating the door locking system is already integrated into the display of the cooling unit. This avoids additional hardware and the costs associated with it.

Another feature of the Schmitz Cargobull door locking system is its controllability via geofencing. It is only when the trailer is driven into a predefined area that the door is automatically unlocked. Con-versely, this also applies as soon as the trailer leaves a certain area or has covered a certain distance. The system then automatically locks the door. This fully automatic function provides maximum security for the cargo and enables the door to be controlled without manually inter-vening on the trailer locally.

Schmitz Cargobull Telematics is extending its TrailerConnect telematics system by adding new functions and creating inter-faces to other telematics systems.

The “beSmart” app enables the driver to keep a close eye on the trailer data.

Smart view of the trailerWith two new apps, Schmitz Cargobull facilitates the monitoring of loads and trailers. Users are informed in real time via push messages on their smartphone.

A drop in the trailer’s cooling output, open doors or faulty sensors can quickly lead to

serious consequences. With this in mind, Schmitz Cargobull has devel-oped the TrailerConnect “ beSmart” app specifically for drivers.

The “beSmart” app displays all measured data, enabling drivers to monitor the current trailer status at all times. The app connects to the CTU 3 telematics control unit wirelessly, also enabling control of the door locking system and the cooling unit. The trailer’s temper-ature printer can also be directly operated from the app.

Individual items of information and functions can be freely con-figured on the uncluttered user interface. This way every driver can adapt the “beSmart” app to their individual needs.

The new TrailerConnect “beUp-ToDate” app is customised for

Many fleets now utilise multiple telematics systems. So companies can still work with a single portal, an increasing number of telematics providers are creating interfaces to other solutions. For example, Schmitz Cargobull has created a comprehensive interface to the idem telematics system and, as a result, a large amount of idem telematics information can now be displayed in the TrailerConnect portal 2.0. This includes data from the cooling unit, the EBS running gear as well as sensor information. Here, the data volume depends on the trailer equipment and trans-mission of idem telematics infor-mation.

To integrate telematics data from other providers, Schmitz Cargobull Telematics also provides a generic interface via which all trailer tele-matics data can be transmitted to and displayed within the Trailer-Connect portal 2.0.  jh

and unauthorised opening of the rear doors during transport is an important issue for many shippers and transport companies. Two new features assist the operators in monitoring and documenting door opening instances and, therefore, provide extra safety. With the TL3 key pad on the front side of the refrigerated semi-trailer, Schmitz Cargobull provides a third way of locking and unlocking the rear door in addition to the Trailer-Connect portal 2.0 and the Trailer-Connect “beSmart” app. The key pad is directly connected via a LIN

fleet managers and dispatchers. It informs all telematics portal users via smartphone about the current locations of their trailer fleet, downtimes and movement data. For this purpose, Schmitz Cargobull has transferred indi-vidual functions and views of the TrailerConnect portal 2.0 to the mobile application.

In particular, the “beUpToDate” app shows the position of all or individual trailers in real time via Google Maps. In addition, the app also provides information on the current status of the trailers such as tyre pressure, axle loads or temperature and cooling unit data. The integrated search and filter function ensures that users receive a clear overview.

The “beUpToDate” app enables the dispatcher or fleet manager to always stay up-to-date. All event messages concerning the trailers are displayed chronologically in

real time, with the current trailer position indicated. The message can also be confirmed via the app. This confirmation with the corre-sponding user (login name) indi-

cated is then visible in the message details area. This all adds up to a significant increase in transport security and vehicle availability for the company.  mb

The TL3 key pad is used to lock and unlock the

rear door.

Information about the cargo is becoming ever more important for shippers. They want to

know where the cargo is as well as its present condition. Tele-matics offers ever more ways of supplying this information along the logistics chain while also providing a means of influencing the individual transport steps.

Respect, as well as fulsome praise, was also received from the representatives of the New Zealand companies Fruehauf, Hall’s and TR Group, who had the smart capabilities of the Trailer-Connect telematics system demon-strated to them for the first time by the Schmitz Cargobull telematics expert Katrin Herda some time ago

The sun is a virtually inex-haustible energy source. The amount of energy that

it radiates every year amounts to more than 10,000 times the energy requirement of the humanity as a whole. A tiny part of this ener-gy is now also used by Schmitz Cargobull for its S.CU transport cooling unit.

In future, Schmitz Cargobull will offer a solar module for its self- developed S.CU transport cooling unit. The use of the small but sophisticated module has a quite special background. Transport cooling units must be ready for use at all times. Due to long idle times, especially in winter, or through additional loads such as a temper-

Whether smart trailer scheduling, sustained reduction in costs or reliable temperature man-agement – the contribution of tele-matics data to the future success of their companies was greatly appre-ciated. The positive response of the three companies was underlined by the fact that a total of 50 S.KO box semi-trailers were ordered, natural-ly all with the Schmitz Cargobull telematics system and, for the most part, with the self-developed S.CU cooling unit as well.  gw

ature recorder, discharging of the starter battery can occur. That has serious consequences. Should deep discharging of the battery occur, it will be damaged and have to be replaced. With the new S.CU solar panel, such bothersome and costly situations can be avoided. The starter battery of the S.CU trans-port cooling unit is charged with the help of the solar panel and, as a result, remains operational for a longer period of time.

The S.CU solar panel is posi-tioned and installed directly on the cooling unit by Schmitz Cargobull technicians. This has the advantage that the trailer’s overall height is not affected. Thanks to the tilt angle of the panel, soiling as well as snow and ice accumulation is minimised, which means that its efficiency is not affected even in winter. Another advantage is that

trailers are now also manufactured. The plant is developing significantly – the workforce has increased from 74 in 2010 to now more than 200. So far this year, it has produced and sold 737 S.KO COOL units.

Local production has distinct ad-vantages for customers: instead of having to travel to Germany, they can collect their trailers directly in Spain. That reduces delivery times and creates proximity to the local direct contact partners. Schmitz Cargobull’s commitment to the region pays off as the demand continues to increase. There is also nothing standing in the way of further growth, as the site is designed for a capacity of 1,300 units per year.  dg

Up to 1,300 units per year
