In a major boost to India’s logistics sector, SATRAC has introduced the country’s first-ever Road Train Trailers, in line with the Government of India’s PM Gati Shakti Programme and National Logistics Policy aimed at reducing logistics costs.
The innovative Road Train system links two trailers to a single prime mover, enabling higher freight volumes per trip. This not only reduces the number of trips required but also cuts fuel and manpower costs, improves turnaround times, and lowers the cost per ton-kilometre, offering significant savings for transporters and logistics operators. The technology is particularly suited for industries reliant on bulk movement of goods over long distances, enhancing the competitiveness of Indian businesses in global supply chains.
Advanced Safety and Control Features
SATRAC’s new trailers are equipped with state-of-the-art safety and operational technologies, including:
CAN Router Technology for real-time communication between the tractor and trailers
360° Camera Systems to eliminate blind spots and enhance driver visibility
Beacon and Side Marker Lamps for improved road safety
Synchronized Braking Systems across all trailers for stable deceleration
Steerable Axles to reduce turning radius and improve manoeuvrability
These features ensure safer operations while meeting evolving fleet compliance standards.
Supporting India’s Logistics Transformation
With the government aiming to bring down logistics costs from 14% to 8% of GDP, innovations like SATRAC’s Road Train Trailers are poised to unlock efficiency and modernize freight movement across the country. Leveraging its engineering expertise and partnerships with leading fleet operators, SATRAC is playing a pivotal role in advancing India’s transport sector.
As the logistics landscape evolves, the Road Train Trailers mark a bold step in helping India move faster, farther, and more efficiently.
