EcoGeneration
CO2 Calculator
The lowered rear reduces air turbulence behind the trailer and reduces air resistance. This saves fuel and reduces CO2 emissions.
How much you can save? Find out!
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 €

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.Pročitajte više -

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.

-
How quickly do the fuel savings become noticeable?The effects are directly measurable. The EcoGeneration vehicles save up to 10% fuel.
-
What certificates do the Eco range meet?As with the standard vehicle, the Eco vehicles also comply with all current certificates. The body technology of the Eco bodies is similar to that of the standard trailers.
-
Are any additional tools needed to make the height adjustments?No, adjustments can be easily made and integrated into the daily transport routine within just a few minutes.
-
How does loading and unloading work with the Eco vehicles?Loading and unloading of the Eco vehicles is exactly the same as for the standard vehicles. Both rear and side loading are still possible.
Only with the EcoFLEX and EcoVARIOS is it necessary to fold up the rear bar when loading from the rear in order to prevent damage to the vehicle. The load is secured using the standard Schmitz Cargobull systems. -
Are there any special features of the chassis?The well-known MODULOS chassis is used. For a particularly low empty weight, the Eco body can be combined with an X-LIGHT chassis.
-
Can the bodies be combined with Schmitz Cargobull telematics?Yes, of course. All curtainsider semitrailers will be equipped with the TrailerConnect® telematics CTU as standard from the beginning of 2021.
-
What are the rules for repair and maintenance of the Eco vehicles?
Like standard vehicles, the Eco range assets are equipped with Schmitz Cargobull's MODULOS chassis. This means the vehicles are robust, have high corrosion protection, are flexible to transport tasks and come with a 10-year warranty against rust-through.
Vehicle functionality is based on technical aspects of previous assets and standard maintenance is required. The functionality of the height adjustment is based on our VARIOS technology, therefore no restrictions or costly repairs are to be expected.
