The Euro Trailer supports efforts aimed at climate protection. CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 10%, and fuel savings of up to 10% are achieved through the use of the double train concept. The additional transport volume conveyed results in an overall reduction in the number of trips required. This has been confirmed by the “Accompanying Scientific Study relating to Field-Testing of the Elongated Trailer Concept (Kögel Euro Trailer)”, undertaken by Prof. Wallentowitz at RWTH Aachen.

- With up to ten percent more volume, the Euro Trailer is the solution for the growing transport problem in Europe. The Kögel solution is 1.30 metres longer than the standard semi-trailer and therefore has a clear loading length of up to 14.92 metres.
The consumption values of Euro Trailer train are identical to those of a conventional 40-tonne vehicle. It allows larger volumes to be transported, but does not make any difference to tolls, insurance or tax. The Kögel Euro Trailer can be pulled by conventional tractor units. While evaluating a large-scale test carried out over five years and monitored by RWTH Aachen University, the economic advantages of the Euro Trailer are clear:
- Forwarding companies did not notice any change in the fuel consumption when using the extra-long semi-trailer
- approx. five to ten percent of trips were no longer necessary
- Around a third of the forwarding companies asked would equip 75 to 100 percent of their fleet with extra-long trailers
- 67 percent of forwarding companies would bring investments forward to be able to use these vehicles earlier
The slightly higher price compared to conventional semi-trailers would already pay for itself in less than a year. The higher transport volume of the Euro Trailer allows greater turnover per trip with the same personnel and fuel costs. This significantly increases the profit per kilometre driven.
- The Euro Trailer complies with the regulations for circular driving and can be used anywhere without requiring any changes to existing infrastructure. This reduces traffic on the roads, because fewer vehicles are required for the same transport volume.
- When driving around the specified circle with a 25 metre diameter (circle according to German Ordinance Regulating Passenger Transport (BOKraft)), the trailer does not cut across the inner circle with a 5.30 metre diameter. When entering into the circle, the amount it swings out is less than the permitted 0.80 metres.
The nano-ceramic plus KTL coating as the most up-to-date and high quality type of surface coating in industry has the same fantastic properties as the zinc-phosphating used so far, however it is more environmentally compatible and impresses with a better energy balance.
- Euro Trailer Cargo Rail: This increased length means that the available loading volume is put to better use, also improving aerodynamics; and the volume optimisation results in reduced turnaround times.
- Euro Trailer Mega Rail: Euro Trailer Mega: Standard Euro Trailer solution as a 1.3 m-longer high-volume trailer
- Euro Trailer Box: The 14.9 m dry freight box comes with 9 m³ more volume, making it particularly cost-efficient and environmentally friendly.
