Wabash DuraPlate Dry Van Semi-Trailer

New Tech & Brands

Wabash began building trailers in 1985, and quickly established its name and reputation for innovation, most notably in the development of its DuraPlate composite panel technology. Wabash says the DuraPlate Cell Core Technology used in its dry vans reduces the weight of a 53-foot trailer by 300 pounds (136 kilograms) without compromising its strength or durability. Wabash refrigerated vans are built with the manufacturer’s proprietary EcoNex Technology, an advanced molded structural composite that the company says increases thermal efficiency by as much as 30%. EcoNex is also more durable and is up to 20% lighter, providing clear benefits to customers looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Wabash originally called EcoNex Technology “MSC Technology,” but rebranded the composite In February 2022 along with its entire portfolio of brands. As such, brands it acquired over the years such as Benson, Brenner, Bulk Tank, Supreme, Transcraft, and Walker are now marketed as Wabash. The switch came after roughly four years of organizational changes, and reflects the company’s transformation and uniting of legacy brands as “One Wabash,” it says. In March 2022, Wabash formed a new tech-enabled, single-channel Wabash Parts distribution network to unify and expand its parts distribution capabilities across all its product lines.

The Wabash Lineup

Wabash’s dry van family includes Dry Van and Dry Van For High-Density Loads lineups. Both feature DuraPlate Cell Core Technology composite panels.
