Application of Environmental-friendly Materials

Recyclable Materials

Body Materials: Some manufacturers are adopting recyclable materials to produce semi-trailer bodies. For instance, recycled aluminum alloys or plastics are used to reduce the demand for raw materials and energy consumption during the production process.
Wheels and Chassis: In the manufacturing of wheels and chassis, recycled materials and new synthetic materials are utilized to lower carbon emissions during the production process.
Reduction of Carbon Emissions in Production

Production Process: Manufacturers are improving the production process and adopting more energy-efficient production equipment and technologies. For example, electrically-driven automated production lines are used to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Green Certification: Some semi-trailer manufacturers are obtaining green certifications, such as ISO 14001 environmental management certification, to ensure that their production processes comply with environmental protection standards.

Although the initial investment is large, it may reduce energy consumption costs in the long term.

For example, when a semi-trailer manufacturer initially used environmentally friendly materials, the cost increased by approximately 10%. However, as the market demand for environmentally friendly vehicles increased, the price of its products increased by 15%. Eventually, not only did it offset the increase in costs, but also achieved profit growth.
In conclusion, environmentally friendly materials may increase the cost of semi-trailers in the short term, but from a long-term and comprehensive perspective, it is possible to optimize costs and improve benefits in many ways.
