Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company LLC Announces Major Advancements in Trailer Telematics
City of Industry, California – March 18, 2025 – Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company LLC is excited to unveil significant innovations in trailer telematics with UTILITY TrailerConnect.
Utility offers a powerful telematics platform that gives fleet managers, dispatchers, and truck drivers access to real-time, actionable data—all in one place. The UTILITY TrailerConnect telematics system integrates IOT sensors and data from various third-party applications, providing a complete, real-time view of a company’s fleet. UTILITY TrailerConnect delivers proactive, targeted notifications, ensuring the right people get the right information at the right time, avoiding data overload.
“Utility is committed to simplifying fleet management with a truly unified telematics system. We’re thrilled to announce two major advancements that will transform how you track and manage your entire fleet—regardless of the trailer type or manufacturer,” stated Simon Mols, Director of Telematics Operations for Cargobull North America who collaborated with Utility on this project. “Utility is expanding their telematics portfolio with a new offering, UTC-BASIC, along with a retrofit program that allows existing trailers to benefit from this solution. Our portfolio now includes UTC-BASIC, which can be installed at the factory or via the retrofit program, and UTC-PRO, which comes standard with the Cargobull North America TRUs.”
“With UTC-BASIC, digitizing your fleet has never been easier,” added Mols. “Installation is quick and seamless—simply visit a Cargobull North America dealership, and in just 15 minutes, your asset is fully connected.”
Dry vans, flatbeds, and reefers across a fleet’s entire trailer portfolio can be tracked and monitored with UTILITY TrailerConnect. The program is trailer agnostic, giving fleet managers full visibility and real-time insights into their entire trailer fleet. UTC-BASIC includes essential features like geo-location tracking, tire monitoring, and integration with the Bendix TABS-8 ABS system, providing key data such as trailer weight, tire pressure alerts, and braking system health. This makes UTC-BASIC perfect for digitizing dry vans and flatbeds and turning them into “smart” assets.
UTC-PRO, which is already integrated with the Cargobull TRUs, builds on BASIC by offering advanced features like precision temperature recording, door monitoring, and two-way TRU communication. UTC-PRO is the ultimate solution for cold-chain logistics, ensuring cargo integrity and compliance while boosting operational efficiency.
With both UTC-BASIC and UTC-PRO, fleet managers gain full visibility across their entire fleet. Whether retrofitting existing trailers or choosing factory-installed telematics, UTILITY TrailerConnect simplifies fleet management, making it more efficient, robust, and easier than ever.
