Bringing together bespoke trailer manufacturing and world class vehicle engineering, SDC Trailers have revealed that the Bloodhound Supersonic Car, a mix of car and aircraft technology, will feature alongside their trailer exhibition at the Commercial Vehicle show in Birmingham. The Bloodhound vehicle which is designed to break the current land speed record at 1,000mph has been in development since 2006. With bespoke engineering and innovation at the centre of SDCâs manufacturing approach, the engineering marvel will complement the range of trailers on display at SDC stand 5C110.
In the run up to this yearâs CV event SDCâs Managing Director Mark Cuskeran said âThe Commercial Vehicle Show is the primary event for the UK and Irelandâs road transport and logistics industry so we are delighted to be showcasing our range of products and services again this year. We will have a total of six trailers on display and our sister company FP&S Parts will also be exhibiting at stand 5C110. We are giving visitors to the SDC stand an opportunity to have a go in the driving seat of the Bloodhound Supersonic car, a thrilling piece of UK engineering.â
SDCâs âFastlinerâ Buckleless Curtainsider will feature alongside the Bloodhound at stand 5C110. The libner design with Eddie Stobart livery has sliding concertina aluminium planks attached to curtains running in the standard roof rail, giving a clear side aperture for easy loading. The sliding concertina system eliminates the need for side posts while providing customers with additional load security during transit. From the outside SDCâs Fastliner trailer resembles their standard curtainsider however the smart design offers increased aerodynamics, accessibility and safety functions.
Other SDC Trailers at the show include a 4.2m Hireco curtainsider, 4.6m TIP curtainsider and 4m TRL libner curtainsider which will be in the outside exhibition area. A 4.8m Owenâs curtainsider will be on display at Palletforce stand 4F100, as well as SDCâs hospitality trailer at stand 5C110.
SDCâs sister company FP&S Truck and Trailer Parts, a leading supplier of OE and aftermarket parts will also be exhibiting at the Commercial Vehicle show stand 5C110. With a comprehensive product portfolio ranging from axles, suspensions, ABS and air brakes to electrical components, landing legs and body parts, FP&S offer the âone stop shopâ for replacement parts and consumables. With a National UK network of 21 branches and 80 delivery vehicles, FP&S ensure that operator downtime is kept to a minimum.
