Road freight is under pressure like never before.
Fuel costs are volatile, squeezing margins on every kilometer. Regulators and customers demand deep cuts in emissions, yet electric trucks remain expensive, scarce, and complex to integrate. Meanwhile, millions of trailers on the road today contribute nothing to efficiency. They are dead weight in a system that desperately needs smarter solutions.
Cova Smart Trailer
Trailers that
power themselves.
Cova Smart Trailer transforms trailers from passive cargo carriers into powered, intelligent assets. With built-in propulsion, battery storage, and smart control, each trailer works seamlessly with existing tractors to save fuel and cut CO₂ from day one.
