Trailer 95 was the sixth show at Kortrijk, Belgium dedicated to the trailer industry. From small beginnings it has grown into the largest exhibition of its type in Europe; plans are already afoot to expand it further in two years' time. This year there were 144 commercial stands including 50 makes of trailers. Not surprisingly most of the manufacturers were based in mainland Europe but they included many familiar names.
If the general standard of presentation reflects production standards then the manufacturers have much to be proud of. For a long time European trailer manufacturers have been concentrating on increasing load capacity; a number of exhibits at Kortrijk reflected the emphasis now being placed on saving weight.
