June 2024 – In an effort to make vehicles for the courier, express and parcel sector even more economically efficient and sustainable, Schmitz Cargobull is now offering its lightweight dry freight semi-trailer, the S.BO PACE, with the aerodynamically modified EcoFIX body.
Back at the end of 2021, Schmitz Cargobull presented the S.BO PACE for dry freight and CEP transport operations from the British plant, in Manchester, for Great Britain and Ireland. Featuring a fully modular design, the dry freight semi-trailer is equipped as a standard with TrailerConnect® trailer telematics. The body is made from innovative and sturdy STRUKTOPLAST panels. Thanks to the light, honeycomb-shaped panels, each S.BO PACE trailer weighs around 700 kg less than comparable vehicles in this segment. The payload is higher and fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions are reduced.
Additional savings
Now, with the EcoFIX body, an aerodynamic variant is available. The body’s aerodynamic shape reduces wind resistance by approx. 3.5%, which results in additional savings on fuel consumption and a reduction of CO₂ emissions.
The S.BO PACE can be equipped with a number of load-securing components to protect cargo, such as package safety tarpaulins, lashing belts, etc. The floor load-bearing capacity is 5.4 t as standard or there is the option to increase it to 7.1 t or 8.0 t for transporting heavier loads.
Schmitz Cargobull’s standard TrailerConnect® telematics system delivers intelligent connectivity and supports swift diagnostics and the rapid processing of data collected from all components.
