IRVINE, California, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Two of Kia’s newest and most popular models, the K5 midsize sedan and the Sorento SUV, have been named among the «Best New Cars for 2021» by Autotrader, marking the latest industry awards for Kia’s world-class model lineup.

Kia K5 Midsize Sedan and Sorento SUV Named Among the "Best New Cars for 2021" by Autotrader

«Having two all-new models, the K5 midsize sedan and the Sorento SUV, included among Autotrader’s ‘Best New Cars for 2021’ is a testament to Kia’s commitment to design, quality, and the ownership experience,» said Sean Yoon, president, Kia Motors North America & Kia Motors America. «This latest recognition of the Kia brand shows that our dedicated philosophy of building sporty sedans and capable SUVs is resonating with customers and the experts at Autotrader.»

Autotrader praised the K5 for its head-turning exterior and a roomy, high-tech interior. In addition, the K5’s high-end options, sharp handling, and fresh new look are cited as reasons the sporty midsize sedan was so appealing. Autotrader also noted its eye-catching design, especially in GT trim, rivaled that of some German sport sedan makers.

The 2021 Sorento was noted for its ability to transform from budget-friendly SUV to a near-luxury SUV with only a few options and it was praised for its handling characteristics, particularly in the rugged X-Line trim. Comparing the all-new Sorento to the award-winning Telluride, Autotrader noted Kia has captured the spirit of its wildly popular midsize SUV in a smaller and nimbler package.   

The Autotrader Best New Cars Award is intended to benefit a broad set of shoppers by highlighting a diverse group of 12 vehicles. Each vehicle on this year’s list was agreed upon unanimously by the entire editorial and data team at Autotrader. To be considered, a vehicle must be of the current or next model-year and available for purchase at the time of the announcement. The editors capped the base price for consideration at $75,000, meaning every contender offers a significant value for the asking price. Not only is value a top priority, but vehicles are also judged on available technology and a rewarding or dynamic driving experience. Each winning vehicle must earn a score of 4.0 or higher on the editors’ 5-point evaluation scorecard to be named a 2021 Autotrader Best New Car.

Semi-Trailer Market worth $41.2 billion by 2025 – Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™

CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — According to the new market research report «Semi-Trailer Market by Type (Flatbed, Lowboy, Dry Van, Refrigerated, Tankers and Others), Number of Axles (<3 Axles, 3-4 Axles, and >4 Axles), Tonnage (Below 25T, 25T-50T, 51T-100T, and Above 100T), Length, End-Use and Region», published by MarketsandMarkets™, the…

CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — According to the new market research report «Semi-Trailer Market by Type (Flatbed, Lowboy, Dry Van, Refrigerated, Tankers and Others), Number of Axles (<3 Axles, 3-4 Axles, and >4 Axles), Tonnage (Below 25T, 25T-50T, 51T-100T, and Above 100T), Length, End-Use and Region», published by MarketsandMarkets™, the global Semi-Trailer Market is estimated to be USD 29.5 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow to USD 41.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.

MarketsandMarkets Logo

The Semi-Trailer Market is primarily driven by the ever-growing need for improved transportation operations across various essential as well as non-essential sectors. OEMs are integrating fuel-efficient designs in their new models to reduce the air resistance and offer cost savings for fleet operators. Rising importance of fuel conservation and emission control has resulted in government authorities mandating technologies and emphasizing on improved designs. OEMs are therefore focusing on increasing usage of lightweight materials to reduce weight and help fleet operators reduce carbon footprint and increase cost savings. These cost savings may result from reduced fuel consumption or extra legally permissible load carrying capacity for semi-trailers. On a global level, the demand for semi-trailers is expected to grow significantly due to positive economic outlook and expanding supply chain infrastructure. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, effective transportation chain has gained immense importance worldwide.

Expanding cold chain and logistics industry and increasing use of advanced technologies are the key drivers for the Semi-Trailer Market. Increasing disposable income of consumers and the general push to fresh, healthier products, and increasing number of quick service restaurants (QSRs) are impacting the cold chain industry. A key driver for the growth of the cold chain industry in recent years has been the growth in large-format supermarket retailing. The installation of technically advanced devices such as temperature recorder with built-in GSM modem and remote temperature monitoring in the refrigerated trailers is benefiting trailer owners and managers in the real-time monitoring of the trailer.

Logistics is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period

The logistics segment is projected to be the largest during the forecast years. Increasing demand for third-party logistics by small & medium players of various industries would continue to drive the demand for semi-trailers. Most companies rely on third-party logistics companies to decrease investments in fleet, reduced workforce, and availability of various types of containers, tanks, and flatbeds as per the requirement of companies.

Increasing dependence of ecommerce companies on third-party logistics (3PL) providers to ensure transportation of goods through warehouse and distribution hub and increasing partnerships between manufacturers and semi-trailer service providers is driving the logistics market for semi-trailers. North America is estimated to be the largest region for the logistics Semi-Trailer Market. The region’s market is driven by growing adoption of third-party semi-trailers service by key players of various industries, growing demand for reefers, and increasing number of logistics service providers.

Less than 3 axles segment is estimated to be the largest segment by number of axles from 2017 to 2025

The market size for semi-trailers with less than 3 axles is expected to be the largest as this type of trailers are preferred in North America and Asia Pacific. The legally permissible load that can be transported on a semi-trailer depends on the number of axles. Weight limit and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) depend on state laws and are designed for the safety of the vehicle during operation. Government regulations on weight limits and number of axles are driving the market for less than 3 axles segment.

Asia Pacific is estimated to highest CAGR growth in semi-trailer

This Semi-Trailer Market in Asia Pacific has experienced high growth in the past few years. The region comprises some of the fastest growing economies, including India, China, and South Korea. With developments taking place at a fast pace, the logistics sector in this region is growing. High growth of industrialization in these countries offers new opportunities in the Semi-Trailer Market. The increase in the overall industrial production has led to increased freight transportation, fueling the demand for semi-trailers in this region. The region offers better cost advantages related to labor and materials than developed regions. Moreover, government policies in India and China encourage the production of semi-trailers in local markets to satisfy domestic demands. For instance, in 2015, China has started «Made in China 2025″, which is backing the companies in this region to compete with global players. All these factors have led to the increased production volumes over the years, where OEMs not only satisfy domestic demands but also serve developed markets and remain globally competitive.

The report analyzes all major players in the Semi-Trailer Market including China International Marine Containers (China), Wabash National (US), Schmitz Cargobull AG (Germany), Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company (US), and Fahrzeugwerk Bernard Krone (Germany).

EGR USA Launches All-New Electronic RollTrac Bed Cover for Jeep Gladiator – Retractable Aluminum Design Provides Superior Durability, Security, Weather Resistance

ONTARIO, Calif., Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — EGR USA, the world-class global manufacturer of precision-engineered solutions, announced the U.S. launch of the <a target="_blank"…

ONTARIO, Calif., Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — EGR USA, the world-class global manufacturer of precision-engineered solutions, announced the U.S. launch of the EGR RollTrac bed cover for the legendary Jeep Gladiator [Exclusive Video]. The aluminum roll-top bed cover, available in an electronic version, is designed to offer convenient access to the cargo bed while providing superior protection against theft, harsh weather conditions and other hazards.

EGR USA announced the U.S. launch of the EGR RollTrac bed cover for the legendary Jeep Gladiator.

 The remarkable design of the bed cover comes from the company’s rich history of creating products built to withstand harsh conditions. EGR leveraged decades of its own data to design the RollTrac bed cover – weather resistant, extremely secure, and easy to use through the integration of several smart, intelligent technologies not found in most other bed covers.

Built for Ultimate Protection Against Weather and Intrusion

Unique design and quality workmanship found in the EGR RollTrac gives Gladiator owners superior protection from the elements and intrusion.

  • Specially engineered aluminum slats channel water toward the drainage system, diverting water from entering the cargo area
  • Custom-molded funneling ports route excess water and rainfall safely away from cargo areas
  • RollTrac’s interlocking aluminum slats are virtually impenetrable and resistant to cutting or forceable separation
  • The RollTrac is secured when integrated into Gladiator’s factory remote-locking system, and is not operable when the vehicle is locked or being driven

Premium Design, Stunning Style and Easy Operation

In addition to world-class protection from the elements and theft, EGR’s RollTrac features several design elements that provide stunning looks and convenient access to the cargo bed.

  • EGR RollTrac features a scratch resistant, lightly textured black powder coat finish that is UV stable, thus resistant to fading
  • The RollTrac bed cover can be operated with buttons in the corners of the side rails when integrated into vehicle’s onboard remote lock system
  • Onboard smart technology – electric model designed to prevent operation if the vehicle’s battery is low and will retract automatically if it contacts anything while operating
  • RollTrac maximizes cargo space with the smallest canister of any roll-top bed cover available
  • Installation made easy through using a bracket system, with minor drilling for the water drainage system – complete instructions, hardware and all wiring harnesses included with RollTrac.
  • Seamless integration of sports bars using full range of available adaptor kits
  • Injection molded foot cups create a seamless OEM look in tandem with EGR RollTrac
  • All EGR RollTrac covers include standard T-Channel on each rail for aftermarket racking systems like cross bar style racks, bike carriers or platform racks – total load capacity of 330 pounds

«There’s no question the Jeep Gladiator has become a legendary vehicle, and we are extremely proud to be part of its legacy with the launch of the EGR RollTrac bed cover,» said John Whitten, vice president of sales for EGR North America. «We leveraged EGR’s years of experience in the aftermarket industry to design a bed cover that is easy to use, looks great and offers unparalled security. We are confident the RollTrac will be the preferred choice of Gladiator owners for years to come.»

For more information on the EGR RollTrac bed cover, visit www.EGRUSA.com. Media interested in scheduling an interview can contact John Whitten, VP of sales at jwhitten@egrusa.com.
