Committed to longevity and<br />
resource conservation<br />
Europa-LKW.de, an online platform for used vehicles, has<br />
determined in its barometer for the used truck market in<br />
<strong>2022</strong> that Schmitz Cargobull is the most sought-after trailer<br />
brand and holds first place in the ratings in Germany.<br />
Customers can buy used trailers at 39 Cargobull Trailer<br />
Stores throughout Europe. All of the vehicles are inspected<br />
for safety and quality and can be purchased together with<br />
various additional services. In the financial year <strong>2022</strong> / <strong>23</strong>,<br />
Cargobull Trailer Store generated sales amounting to<br />
€163 m with slightly less than 7,000 used vehicles, contributing<br />
approximately 6% to the Group’s sales. Customers<br />
also benefit from financing solutions, repair and maintenance<br />
contracts as well as comprehensive services for used vehicles.<br />
Save resources with retreaded tyres<br />
Schmitz Cargobull offers a service contract with retreaded<br />
tyres (Full Service Retreaded Tyres), which also enables<br />
customers to save resources in addition to enjoying good<br />
protection. As with a new tyre, the retreaded tyre offers<br />
the best performance and functionality.<br />
The retreaded tyre is a champion when it comes to its ecological<br />
balance: Compared to a new tyre, which requires<br />
80 kilograms of material (such as rubber and steel) along<br />
with 83 litres of crude oil to produce, the retreaded tyre<br />
only needs 14 kilograms of material and 26 litres of crude<br />
oil. Our tyre pressure monitoring system makes another<br />
important contribution to longevity and safety by forwarding<br />
data to the driver and dispatcher via the telematics system.<br />

Our products stand for durability and value retention:<br />
For example, we rely on galvanisation and grant a<br />
ten-year guarantee on galvanised chassis. The galvanisation<br />
process increases the chassis’ service life<br />
by at least three to five years compared to a painted<br />
chassis. Zinc can also be sorted for recycling and<br />
modern hot galvanising facilities practise a recycling<br />
management process with less energy and few<br />
emissions. The modular design principle also increases<br />
the reparability and increases the value retention.<br />
The longer our trailers are in operation, the fewer<br />
resources are used to build new vehicles.<br />
