Om oss

60 års historia av innovation i bilindustrin

När KART Group började tillverka trailers under 1991 hade vi redan 40 års erfarenhet inom bilindustrin i bagaget. Under den tiden gav vårt långvariga samarbete med Bentley, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen och andra ledande biltillverkare insikt om biltillverkarnas och -transportörernas frustrationer och målsättningar.

Vi vet att du vill spara tid vid lastning utan att offra säkerheten. Vi uppskattar din önskan om en trailer som kan hantera svårigheterna på de tuffaste vägarna och ändå kunna köra i tjugo år till. KART Groups ingenjörer använder banbrytande design för att utveckla trailers som är enklare och snabbare att lasta utan att äventyra säkerhet och hållbarhet.
