Über uns

60 Jahre Innovation in der Automobilindustrie

Als die KART-Gruppe 1991 mit der Herstellung von Anhängern begann, hatten wir bereits 40 Jahre Erfahrung in der Autobranche gesammelt. Während dieser Zeit gewannen wir durch die langfristigen Partnerschaften mit Bentley, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen und anderen führenden Autoherstellern einen Einblick in die Frustration sowie die Ziele der Autohersteller und Transporteure.

Wir wissen, dass Sie beim Beladen Zeit sparen wollen, ohne dabei die Sicherheit zu vernachlässigen. Wir schätzen Ihren Wunsch nach einem Anhänger, der die Herausforderungen der schwierigsten Straßen meistert und trotzdem für 20 weitere Jahre betriebsbereit bleibt. Die Techniker der KART-Gruppe sind Pioniere in der Entwicklung von Anhängern, die einfacher und leichter zu beladen sind, ohne dabei die Sicherheit und Langlebigkeit zu vernachlässigen.
