Coachbuilders and trailer manufacturers are under increasing pressure: rising labor costs, staff shortages, and growing demand for fast delivery times make it essential to build smarter and more efficiently. Automation and standardization therefore become indispensable links in the production process.
Innovation: plug & play lighting as a strategic building block
Where vehicle lighting was once seen primarily as a final step, it now forms an integral part of the construction process. TRALERT® provides modern 24V plug & play lighting for vehicle manufacturing, enabling manufacturers to build modularly and greatly simplify installations.
- Pre-wired cable sets and connection boxes
- Standard connector solutions (such as Superseal or Bayonet)
- Modular, connectable components
This approach reduces the risk of errors, speeds up assembly times, and allows for easy scalability in production environments.
Time savings and reduced dependence on specialists
Thanks to the modular nature of plug & play systems, coachbuilders can:
- Work with fewer technical specialists
- Reduce reliance on scarce electricians
- Minimize installation time
- Simplify repair processes in case of damage
Especially in series production or custom builds such as truck beds, superstructures, or low loaders, this standardization offers a significant efficiency boost.
Increasingly strict legislation requires certified lighting
Regulations around vehicle lighting are continuously tightening—both nationally and within the EU. Think of standards such as ECE R10, R65, R48, and the mandatory use of IP69K-certified components in specific applications.
For coachbuilders and trailer manufacturers, using ECE-certified lighting is not only important for safety but also essential to meet approval requirements and limit liability.
Looking ahead: ready for automation
These modular systems align with the trend toward automated assembly and robotics. Because the components are standardized and compatible with industrial connectors, it becomes easier to automate assembly steps or outsource them externally.
