Update Speculation thread

Not necessarily. The dry van trailer, flatbed trailer and tanker trailer all have visually dually wheels but actually use single, wide ones:

 

But did those tri-axles have single wheels?

Edit: Seeing @DaddelZeit post, maybe they aren't single wheels in the teaser. They do look quite thicc tbf

 

Tbh, having a European trailer wouldn't make any sense given the fact that the T-Series is an American truck. Unless, of course, there's a European truck in the works!

Teaser-ed series

 

Yeah I felt that I see 3 axle intermodal trailers more often than 2 axle ones here in Canada. intermodal transport isn’t too common in general though so never really paid attention to whether the trailers are extendable or not.

As for the length of extension, it doesn’t seem to extend 20’, so I think its designed to carry a 40’/2 TEU in the smaller configuration and a North American 53’ intermodal in the extended configuration.

 

They released another teaser for some reason on their twitter/x post.

 

So if we are getting a trailer designed for carrying shipping containers of various lengths then I presume we are getting new shipping containers maybe with different lengths/weights and maybe actual interior stuff like boxes and other cargo

Super singles are becoming more popular in America, so even if it does have single tires it could still be American. And it’ll probably have options to put normal duallies on as well, as the T-series and other trailers will likely have the option of super singles.

 

why does that second image look like a model truck? or my eyes are losing it idk

 

Honestly it might be, I just wanna show the difference between duallies and super singles incase anyone isn’t familiar with the terms

 

I noticed that the duals had a seam down the center of each tire, a telltale sign of injection molding

 

Can’t wait

 

This is what makes me tend towards an US trailer. Having the parts over the wheels move different than the wheels is a US design to me. Never seen something like this on an EU truck, maybe on some obscure logging equipment, they do all kinds of weird sliding stuff, but not a common container trailer.
EU trailers almost always have the parts over the wheels and the wheels on one frame and then the extension coming out of it, US trailers sometimes/often two frames over each other that slide along.

But most of them seem to be fixed, even when the rear wheels are sticking out over the container end.

 

the only reason why the rear wheels would be sticking out behind the container is because in North America, we have 53 ft containers, and a more standard 40 ft/2 TEU was loaded onto the trailer designed to accommodate the 53 ft containers.

 

I expect the devs to make the heavy dually tires separate like they are on the D-Series with the remaster, it wouldn't really make sense for them not to.

 

We have them as well, but this is not what I meant.
20 ft containers on a fixed chassis longer than 20 ft, so something sticks out, but no Attachment points on the part sticking out so you can't fit a 40 ft container.
But this is off topic anyway, we clearly have a sliding one here.
