Schmitz Cargobull receives seal of approval for sustainable trailer telematics for the third time

The German Institute for Sustainability & Economy has once again honoured the Schmitz Cargobull subsidiary Cargobull Telematics GmbH in the areas of ecology, economy and social competence.
February 2025 - As in 2021 and 2023, the Schmitz Cargobull subsidiary Cargobull Telematics GmbH has been awarded the "Assured Sustainability" seal of approval by the German Institute for Sustainability & Economy this year.

The certificate confirms that the company acts in an exemplary manner in terms of sustainability and organises all processes in an economically sustainable manner. This includes the quality of products, services and advice, as well as ecological and social responsibility and future economic orientation. The individual sustainability competences in the areas of environment, energy, social affairs, economy and regionality were verified through on-site audits.

Transport companies that use the TrailerConnect® system benefit from high sustainability and safety standards.

The TrailerConnect® telematics system also continues to be certified. Transport companies that use the TrailerConnect® system benefit from high sustainability and safety standards. Using high-quality sensors, important measured values such as temperature, tyre pressure, brake performance and axle load are continuously transmitted to a central platform and provide fleet managers with real-time information on the condition of the fleet. Controlled data exchange allows data to be shared with various parties along the supply chain. This contributes to the optimisation of routes and vehicle maintenance, helping to increase efficiency.

Fleet operators can significantly improve their position in public tenders or audits, such as for ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 50001 energy management or ISO 16247 energy audits, with a certified TrailerConnect® system. This also applies to consignors who require various proofs of a company's sustainability
of a company in order to award contracts.
