Thaco Trailers semi-trailers - strategic step forward
Based on the industrial production foundation in the field of mechanical engineering and supporting industry, while exploiting the "space" of the market, since 2014, THACO INDUSTRIES has invested in researching and manufacturing semi-trailers, supplying domestically and exporting. To meet the increasing demand, especially welcoming the "wave" of shifting global supply chains, in the following years, THACO INDUSTRIES continued to invest in upgrading technology, developing the Thaco Trailers brand with the position of the leading semi-trailer manufacturer in Vietnam.
In 2022, the Group will put into operation THACO INDUSTRIES Semi-Trailer and Heavy Components Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Thaco Trailers) and invest in a new factory with a capacity of 30,000 products/year, with the most modern equipment system in Southeast Asia. The production process is closed and synchronized, through the stages of: manufacturing parts, welding, painting, assembly, and inspection. The factory invests in a laser cutting system for all mechanical parts and semi-trailer frames with high precision. The welding line is equipped with a fixture system and automatic welding robots with a reach of up to 2,200 mm, ensuring precise welding at all angles, and the welds meet quality and aesthetic standards. After the welding stage, the chassis frame is automatically shot blasted to clean the surface with international standard quality SA-2.5, then dipped in electrostatic paint (ED) in a 17m long dipping tank. Next, the chassis is electrostatically powder coated by automatic paint spraying robots, making the product surface smooth and highly aesthetic. The semi-trailer is assembled on a fully automatic monorail line with an AGV component supply system, controlling the tightening force throughout the process. Quality is strictly controlled at each stage, before leaving the factory, the product is tested for braking force, overall inspection and actual testing on a test track with diverse terrain.
Currently, Thaco Trailers manufactures and supplies a variety of product configurations including: skeleton semi-trailers, flatbed semi-trailers, box semi-trailers, dump semi-trailers, specialized semi-trailers and semi-trailer components, meeting the maximum individual requirements of customers. The products are highly appreciated by customers for their light weight, high durability, flexible configuration design, helping to optimize load capacity; strong, stable operation, saving operating costs... Thaco Trailers semi-trailers are not only a new step in the strategy of expanding the product portfolio, but also a testament to the production capacity and intrinsic value accumulated over more than 20 years of formation and development of THACO INDUSTRIES.
Reaching out to the world market
After investing in product research and development, in 2020, Thaco Trailers exported the first batch of semi-trailers to the US market. Receiving positive feedback on product quality and meeting customer needs, Thaco Trailers has continuously improved, enhanced quality, diversified product configurations, penetrated this potential market with large orders, creating momentum to expand business in North American countries (Canada, Mexico). At the same time, Thaco Trailers continues to produce and supply products suitable for the needs of other markets such as Australia, Japan, Korea, etc. From 2020 to present, Thaco Trailers has exported nearly 13,000 semi-trailers to other countries.
To step into the global “playground” and conquer large markets with high requirements for quality standards and technical specifications, Thaco Trailers has implemented many synchronous solutions. The company focuses on exploiting resources in terms of production capacity, technology, industrial management and digital applications, investing heavily in R&D activities, cooperating with reputable component suppliers in the world... to create quality products that meet export standards (DOT, AAR, ANSI, TOFC, F(C)MVSS, SAE, TTMA...), and have diverse configurations, suitable for the needs and characteristics of each market.
Currently, Thaco Trailers continues to promote market research activities, participate in international exhibitions on semi-trailers, promote the establishment of a sales company in the United States and representative offices in Australia and Europe. In addition, the company also invests in improving production capacity, R&D, and after-sales service to realize the goal of cooperating with existing customers to increase the output of skeleton semi-trailers in the North American market; at the same time, establish cooperative relationships with new distributors to export components and specialized semi-trailers.
With a solid foundation of production capacity and exploitation of large demand from potential markets, Thaco Trailers expects to continue to increase export output, affirming the position of Vietnamese-origin semi-trailer products in the world market.
