EcoGeneration
CO2 Calculator
The lowered rear reduces air turbulence behind the trailer and reduces air resistance. This saves fuel and reduces CO2 emissions.

Calculation basis:
1 liter Diesel burns to 2.63 kg CO2.
The calculation is based on a saving of 5% fuel in Eco-Mode.
In Germany, the CO2 contribution per tonne is since 01.01.2025 55.00 €
Benefits of the EcoGeneration
For fuel savings and reduction of CO2 emissions
-
Everything in viewTelematics can also monitor the height adjustment of the trailer, i.e. sensors detect whether the roof is raised or in an aerodynamic position.
-
Aerodynamic bodyThe aerodynamic shape, reducing drag and saving fuel.
-
New interior lightingThe interior is now even better illuminated and ensures greater safety when loading and unloading at any time of day or night.
-
Fuel saving
The aerodynamic trailers of the EcoGeneration significantly reduce air resistance and thus fuel consumption.
In practical use, fuel savings of more than 10 % have been achieved with the EcoGeneration concept. -
Design variantsEcoFIX - fixed lowered rear roof
EcoFLEX - flexible adjustable rear roof
EcoVARIOS - flexible adjustable rear and front roof for volume transport -
Curtain selectionDepending on the transport task, the EcoFIX can be fitted with the standard curtain or the lath-free POWER CURTAIN body.
-
Simple, familiar and proven handling
Adjustable rear roof within minutes. The height adjustment on the EcoFLEX and EcoVARIOS is based on our well-known lifting roof technology combined with our VARIOS height adjustment system. Adjustments can be made without any additional tools.
-
Flexible adaptation to the loading volumeStill flexible: If the full interior volume is required, the rear roof height can be easily adjusted.
Aerodynamic. Sustainable. Flexible.

Handling
Simple and quick height adjustment
Minimal steps, known handling, no additional tools required.
1. Open doors and fold up rear bow
2. Release curtain hump and curtain
3. Adjust the lifting roof by using the hydropneumatic pump
4. Adjust the required inner height on the stanchions.
5. Adjust the lifting roof
6. Simply adjust and close the height of the curtain
7. Close rear bow and doors
Load securing
Aerodynamic
The Eco-Modus gives the vehicle an aerodynamic shape, resulting in a reduction of air resistance, a smaller towing area and less turbulence behind the trailer.
With the adjustable rear, the EcoFLEX and EcoVARIOS can be flexibly adapted to full load volume if required.
In practical use, fuel savings of more than 10 % have been achieved with the EcoGeneration concept.
From daily life
The EcoFlex in use at EuroSpeed
. Nickolay Rashkov, CEO of EuroSpeed, will present at the Digital Symposium "Clean Logistics" how he achieves convincing fuel and CO2 savings with the S.CS EcoFLEX curtainsider semitrailer from Schmitz Cargobull.
The EcoFLEX in the test
Load securing and loading/unloading can be carried out as usual without additional work steps. The adjustment of the height adjustment is done in a few minutes analogue to the already known VARIOS height adjustment technology.
