Conservation of resources
Sustainable logistics begins with the responsible use of materials.
Circular economy – definitions and functions
We are committed to consistently reducing resource consumption and promoting closed material cycles in order to make the goal of a circular economy more tangible. Our products are designed for durability, repairability, and recyclability. With eco-design principles, the use of secondary raw materials, and innovative recycling solutions, we are driving the circular economy forward—for less waste, greater efficiency, and a smaller ecological footprint.
Retread tires - Efficient and environmentally friendly
Our full service with retread tires offers a sustainable alternative to new tires. Thanks to lower material usage and excellent running characteristics, they score highly with a significantly better ecological balance—resource-saving and efficient.
Value retention and durability through galvanisation and ease of repair
Our products stand for durability and value retention: For example, we rely on galvanisation and grant a ten-year guarantee on galvanised chassis. The galvanisation process increases the chassis’ service life by at least three to five years compared to a painted chassis. Zinc can also be sorted for recycling and modern hot galvanising facilities practise a recycling management process with less energy and few emissions. The modular design principle also increases the reparability and increases the value retention. The longer our trailers are in operation, the fewer resources are used to build new vehicles.
Our repair service is a further important aspect with regard to maintaining value. The service focuses on the longevity of the trailers and aims to offer customers the best service during the use of the trailers. Customers can select modular service elements tailored to their specific needs and the respective vehicles. Schmitz Cargobull Parts & Services coordinates the inspection and maintenance work while also handling the financial processing. Customers receive professional and efficient support from the Europe-wide service partner network as well as Europe-wide roadside assistance. Fast, quality-tested repairs made with original spare parts, the replacement of wear parts together with innovative, modular service elements for the trailer, tyres and cooling unit help to maintain the value of the trailer. Schmitz Cargobull is no longer just a manufacturer of innovative vehicles but also guarantees the customers’ mobility with its services.
