Save fuel with Euro trailers!
IMPORTANT........... protect your insurance ......and licence
Many trailers bear no indication of their Tare (unladen) weight on their compliance plate. This leads to a situation where the user doesn't really know how much the trailer can legally carry. All Euro and Erdé trailers display their TARE (unladen) weight. This is vital as if you are involved in an accident while towing an overloaded trailer, your insurance will be null and void and you may be liable to be prosecuted under the road traffic act.
e.g. A trailer may be rated as a 750kg (3/4 tonne) trailer. It may weigh 250kg., so it will only legally carry 500kg (1/2 tonne), not as many people think, it will carry 3/4 tonne. Trailers exceeding 3/4 tonne gross must have brakes.
Be safe with Euro Trailers
![]()
Euro trailers employ a superior dynamic braking system with auto-reversing hubs on all wheels, so you don't need to get out of your vehicle, flip the lever, do your reversing then remember to flip the lever back when continuing your journey.
(remember: All Euro trailers have a built-in safety margin of 50%)
Environmental credentials ERDÉ
All ERDÉ trailers are manufactured in France with strict compliance to French law and European workplace directives.
All components are of French or european origin.
Erdé uses quality components always with regard to saving energy and the planet's resources. Most of the materials are recyclable. Oils and other materials used during manufacture are stored and disposed of in an environmentally freindly manner.
Environmental responsibility Trigano
Nature conservation and respect for the environment are among the fundamental values which have long formed part of Trigano’s corporate culture. These values are inextricably bound up with its activity, which for more than 60 years has focused on outdoor leisure. Trigano’s pro-environmental activities involve in particular the development of environmentally friendly products, control of the environmental impact of its production activity and the reduction of polluting emissions from the use of vehicles.
Production
Preservation of resources and management of environmental risks
In its production activities, Trigano strives to reduce its impact on the environment. The need to limit water consumption and liquid waste is a constant focus of attention, which is reflected in a significant fall in their levels each year. Trigano has also introduced checks in both the design and manufacturing stages in order to monitor and reduce the potential risks. Leisure vehicles are manufactured mostly with recyclable materials which are not harmful to the environment.
Optimum use of energy sources
Trigano greatly encourages the use of clean energy sources in meeting the energy autonomy needs of vehicles. In just a few years, the fuel cell has emerged as an appropriate solution for the supply of mobile, non-mains energy for leisure vehicles. Fuel cells are quieter, lighter and more economical than conventional generators. They allow electricity to be generated continuously and stored in the cell’s batteries, substantially increasing the vehicle’s autonomy, while remaining clean and free of disruptive emissions. Trigano also greatly encourages the use of solar panels.
