In a transportation industry where margins are tight, customer demands are high, and regulations are constantly evolving, innovation isn’t just a bonus, it’s the key to long term success. At Breadner Trailers, we recognize that staying ahead means partnering with manufacturers who don’t just adapt to change, but drive it.

That’s why we’re proud to be one of the top dealers for Hyundai Translead, a manufacturer that’s redefining what it means to be a leader in semi-trailer design, performance, and innovation.

 

A Legacy of Innovation
For over 35 years, Hyundai Translead has operated with a relentless focus on forward momentum. They were the first North American trailer manufacturer to earn ISO 9001 certification, establishing a culture of continuous improvement and quality management that remains a cornerstone of their operations today.

Their early adoption of composite panel technology was a game-changer, ushering in stronger, lighter trailers and better fuel efficiency for fleets across North America. But their legacy of innovation doesn’t stop with materials. It lives on through every weld, every sensor, and every test performed in their cutting-edge Innovation Lab (iLab) in Rosarito, Mexico.

Inside the iLab

Hyundai Translead’s $20 million Innovation Lab, or iLab, is more than a research facility, it’s a bold statement of intent. Here, Hyundai Translead engineers collaborate with customers to test, validate, and refine the next generation of trailer technologies.

Equipped with advanced durability road simulators, fatigue and thermal testing systems, and automated floor validation equipment, the iLab is where innovation is stress-tested under real-world conditions. It’s where breakthrough ideas become practical, customer-ready solutions.

This goes beyond R&D for its own sake. It’s about solving the challenges fleets face today, and anticipating the ones they’ll face tomorrow.
