Borco Carbon chassis for commercial vehicles: Now available with a trailer hitch
With the BORCO Carbon Chassis, BORCO HÖHNS offers a unique lightweight solution for the construction of sales vehicles. The goal: to enable greater cost-effectiveness and flexibility within the 3.5-ton limit.
The system now offers yet another advantage: BORCO Carbon is now also available with a trailer hitch. This significantly expands the range of applications for BORCO Carbon. The new solution provides greater flexibility for customized sales concepts and offers more usable space for mobile sales. At the same time, the load capacity increases. The new trailer hitch is therefore not merely an add-on, but a logical—and much-anticipated—evolution of the carbon system.
More retail space for new concepts
For many mobile retail businesses, available space is a critical factor. Until now, those needing additional space often had to resort to heavier vehicle solutions. With the new trailer hitch, BORCO HÖHNS is now opening up new possibilities: In combination with the carbon chassis, trailers up to 4.5 meters in length and with a gross vehicle weight of 2 tons are possible. This allows for vehicle-trailer combinations of up to 9.5 meters.
This opens up new possibilities for a wide variety of applications. Whether you need more retail space, additional equipment, a larger cargo capacity, or a more customized setup, the combination of a lightweight tow vehicle and a compatible trailer significantly expands your options for mobile retail.
The well-known benefits of carbon remain
The new trailer hitch complements the system without losing sight of the key benefits of BORCO Carbon. The carbon chassis was developed to make sales vehicles lighter, thereby keeping them below the important 3.5-ton limit. This is precisely what gives BORCO Carbon the advantages that make it particularly attractive to many businesses: no tolls, drivability with a Class B driver’s license (BE with a trailer), lower operating and maintenance costs, and a higher payload.
Depending on the model, the payload capacity can be increased by up to 100 kg per day. In some versions, this can be as much as 185 kg more than in conventional sales vehicles. This also provides more space for features such as refrigerated compartments, air conditioning, or heating.
A specialized solution in mobile retail vehicle construction
BORCO Carbon combines low weight with high stability, opening up new possibilities in the construction of sales vehicles. Its lightweight design offers a combination of benefits that are crucial for many businesses in their day-to-day operations: greater payload capacity, cost-effective operation, high flexibility, and now the added option of expanding the system with a trailer.
This approach creates a solution that effectively combines cost-effectiveness with practical applications, particularly for companies seeking to establish a future-proof and efficient mobile sales operation.
The new trailer hitch was developed specifically for the BORCO carbon chassis, extensively tested, and approved for practical use. This provides a solution that not only opens up new possibilities but is also designed for daily use in mobile sales. For businesses, this means greater planning reliability and more flexibility in configuring their sales vehicles.
Conclusion
With its new trailer hitch, BORCO HÖHNS continues to build on its carbon concept. The combination of lightweight construction, cost-saving benefits for vehicles under 3.5 tons, and new possibilities for additional space makes BORCO Carbon even more versatile.
For customers, this means greater flexibility in their daily lives, more room for customized solutions, and even more opportunities for mobile sales.
