Thursday, September 27, 2012 HANNOVER – D-TEC has won The Trailer Innovation Award 2013 in the “Chassis” category. The trailer producer received the award for the Flexitrailer Traction. A panel of experts chose the Traction due to the simplicity, the light weight and the optimum weight distribution with a loaded 20ft container. The award will be presented during the IAA in Hannover in 21 September. D-TEC invites everyone to view its award-winning trailer during the IAA (Hall 25, Stand B19) The Trailer Innovation Award is a bi-annual, international industry award that promotes innovative trailer developments. The jury is formed by ten reputable European trade magazines.  „The solution for 20ft container transport“  According to D-TEC product manager Elbert Folmer, the Flexitrailer Traction is the flexible solution that also facilitates the optimum transportation of a 20ft container. ‘You can simply load the 20ft container onto the back and still have enough traction on the drive axle. And this without shifting the 20ft container.’  The basic version of the Flexitrailer Traction weighs approximately 4,5 tons. ‘That is 1100 to 1500 kilograms lighter than the current solutions. This enables you to save 1500 to 2000 litres of diesel per year with the Traction’, according to an enthusiastic Folmer. The flexible Traction is also suitable for 30ft and 40ft containers.  Video  <
