logitrans 2025, held in Istanbul, concluded after a three-day program. Standing out with its expanded exhibition area, increased international participation, and intensive business meetings, the event brought together companies operating across the logistics and transportation sector.
In container, vehicle carrier and similar platform trailers, operations are shifting away from a purely physical transport approach toward a digital model built around telemetry, sensors and remote monitoring. This infrastructure is expected to boost logistics efficiency, strengthen fleet management, enhance safety and accelerate maintenance processes.
In recent years, significant changes have been taking place in safety standards and monitoring technologies in tanker and silo trailers used for the transport of dangerous substances or bulk cargoes. In these vehicles, critical elements such as pressure management, leak tightness, valve safety and structural strength are being subjected to stricter technical tests both at the production stage and during operation.
Since the 2020s, new technologies that increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact have been coming to the fore in international cold chain transportation. In Europe, electric and hybrid cooling units — “carbon-neutral” refrigerated trailer systems supported by solutions such as solar panels, batteries and e-axles (electric axles) — are signaling a significant transformation.
In Türkiye, production processes compliant with the internationally recognized EN 12642-XL standard are being adopted in the manufacture of tipper and construction-purpose trailers in terms of load safety and superstructure durability. With this transition, the aim is to ensure that trailer superstructures can securely retain loads under static and dynamic forces.
