For the IAA 2024, Schmitz Cargobull is applying the motto “Delivering Performance” to showcase efficient transport solutions that customers can use to improve their fleet’s performance and optimise overall operating costs. At a pre-IAA press conference at the box body trailer production site in Vreden, new products were already presented to trade journalists in June 2024.
With its integrated portfolio of vehicles and services, Schmitz Cargobull offers its customers comprehensive full package solutions from a single source. The product and service solutions presented guarantee the reliable transportation of goods and data, increase transport reliability and efficiency, and also improve vehicle availability and operating times. They support transparency within the supply chain and forward-looking transport planning, helping to increase the sustainability of road-based transport through high fuel efficiency.
Schmitz Cargobull centre of expertise and production plants in Vreden
At the site in Vreden, around 2,000 employees produce refrigerated box body semi-trailers for temperature-controlled transport and dry freight, as well as producing Schmitz Cargobull S.CU transport cooling units. The Schmitz Cargobull factory in Vreden has received multiple awards for its innovative ideas and production processes, along with its impressive products. The site is currently receiving wide-scale investment to expand its capacities. The goal is to create a digital, automated factory with high quality standards and a diverse range of variants for maximum utilisation of capacity. A new assembly hall with automated production systems is being built over an area of 4,500 m2. As a result of the factory expansion, Schmitz Cargobull will in future be able to produce up to 80 refrigerated vehicles a day in a two-shift model. Schmitz Cargobull is also investing in its “Cargobull Event Campus”, a venue for events and training located directly next to the company’s premises.
Around two kilometres from the box body semi-trailer production facilities, Schmitz Cargobull S.CU transport cooling units are produced at the Vreden-Gaxel site. Cargobull Cool GmbH & Co. KG is a subsidiary of Schmitz Cargobull AG and was first founded in 2012. Its team of around 100 employees develop, test and produce conventional and electric transport cooling units, which are used in Schmitz Cargobull refrigerated vehicles. More than 20 percent of Schmitz Cargobull’s S.KO.COOL refrigerated vehicles are delivered with the Schmitz Cargobull S.CU transport cooling unit.
