Where we focus
Equipment Innovations
From ThermoGuard, Great Dane’s durable and lightweight composite liner that improves thermal integrity, to pushing the boundaries of trailer electrification, our equipment innovations are designed to support a more sustainable future.
Technology Advancements
Telematics are standard on all Great Dane trailers, meaning fleets benefit from real-time trailer-level data as the industry transitions towards a connected, autonomous, and zero-emission future.
Corporate Initiatives
Together, we can help improve the environment where we work and live. From investing in technologies that reduce air leaks to analyzing our carbon footprint, Great Dane is working hard to proactively protect people and the environment.

THREE PLACES FUEL EFFICIENCY GAINS ARE HIDING
Aerodynamic devices, trailer telematics, and electrification are driving efficiency gains and a cleaner tomorrow.
Environmentally-Friendly Insulation
Over the life of a trailer insulation degrades, releasing the insulation’s blowing agent into the air. If the blowing agent is classified as a greenhouse gas, the released chemical will also amplify infrared light, potentially causing global warming. Great Dane looked to the future and crafted ClimaCore, a brand-new insulation with a blowing agent that has almost zero impact on global warming.
Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
ThermoGuard reduces refrigeration cooling unit run time and helps maintain excess cooling capacity. Over time this reduces fuel consumption, which is better for the environment and your bottom line.
Fixing Air Leaks to Reduce Energy Consumption
Air leaks are a significant source of wasted energy, which has a substantial adverse impact on the environment. Air Aware is a program designed to identify and remedy air leaks at our manufacturing plants so they can be fixed, saving energy.
