SBR was launched in 1992 as a result of the growth of the light trailer field and the Swedish accession to the EU. That made the market so much larger in just one step and meant we suddenly had to deal and comply with all the regulations, harmonisation laws. Today SBR has almost 40 members in the producing, importers and retail business sectors for light heavy trailers of up to 3.5 tonnes. We can describe almost all of them as companies active in the manufacturing and importing sectors, and retail companies. All of them feel the business is dynamic and during the past few years a very large number of small importing companies have been established. Over the past few years the market for new sales amount to around 45 000 vehicles per year. www.sbr.nu
CNS - This is the networking of expertise, capacities, ideas, resources, and specialists from the commercial and special vehicle industry. Defining common goals and working together to achieve them. Communicating and generating success together – that's what makes us strong, provides impetus, and gives us the confidence to participate in the current developments in the industry.
The commercial vehicle industry is constantly changing. Knowing how and what others are doing is therefore extremely valuable. CNS consequently brings together decision-makers, specialists, and stakeholders from business, science, and society. Our goal is a strong industry with a strong regional base and excellent networking within the region and beyond, resulting in significant synergy effects.
