We make all kinds of trailers. We make them for our customers across the world, each working with a unique set of challenges in their daily operations. Nevertheless, we do not simply wish to meet these challenges for today. We anticipate future trends, while remaining fully aligned with the practical requirements and needs of our customers.

In order to succeed in this goal, at Kässbohrer we make carefully selected R&D investments. We work with the latest technology and focus on developing ideas, products and patents further. Product Development processes are powered by different mechanical tests and virtual analyses in component and vehicle level for the validation of the design.

The three principles guiding Kässbohrer R&D practices are:

ENDURANCE
Taking into account the product life cycle, we focus on sustainability of developed products and digital solutions.

VALUE FOR THE CUSTOMER
Total cost of ownership is the key building block for the whole design process.

TECHNOLOGY
We aim to develop and incorporate latest technology into our customers' operations. Today, Kässbohrer stands out with its R&D capability in line with its history of innovation.

With our partners all around Europe, we co-develop new technologies to enhance our product offerings. We work together with renowned research institutes to engineer products for the future challenges.

Through cooperation and exchange of knowledge, we nurture a network that supports us to provide the right balance of engineering and ingenuity.

Production conditions in the transportation industry have been fundamentally transformed in the digital age. While quality and efficiency determine demand, lean philosophy is the central ingredient for success.

Either individual configurations or standard solutions – with lean production processes, we engineer and deliver value for our customers, constantly.
