Since 2002, the international “Trailer Innovation” award, through cooperation with the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), promotes outstanding ideas and new products from the trailer and body industry. The Jury members are specialist journalists from 14 leading European transport magazines.

Kässbohrer has engineered Kässbohrer Safety Bitumen Tanker, K.STS.F 32, through an exemplary industry collaboration with Hoyer Bitumen-Logistik GmbH, the German bitumen transport subsidiary of Hoyer Group, one of the worldwide market leaders in moving liquids.

Implementing the latest technology into the tank semi-trailer design, Kässbohrer’s new concept improves European best practices for occupational health and safety, as well as the discharge operation safety, and efficiency in general.

The electronic discharge automation system installed on K.STS.F 32, along with additional security features not only protects the driver, avoiding possible permanent injury, it increases security of the operation site and the equipment as well. The result is safer working conditions, lower risks in order to increase the total value of ownership and lower operational costs.

“Kässbohrer’s commitment to innovation in the semi-trailer engineering, which shaped the company’s spirit from the very beginning, continues to contribute in improving the safety and the efficiency in the transport industry and this award is a valuable proof of it,” said Kässbohrer’s Executive Board Member İffet Türken. “The award also confirms the success of our policy of engaging in long-term partnerships with industry constituents to ensure sustainability and to provide added value to the transport industry.”
