“…Providing these values (throughout the entire cycle, from production, processing, transport, storage to purchase and recycling) constitutes a premise which defines sustainable products [11][12][13]. It also implies the users' focus on various requirements, who increasingly take the latest design, construction, production and operation achievements into account.…”

Article infoThis study analyses the technical parameters of volume transport trailers used in agriculture. Its fundamental goal is to present their key technical properties with specific specifications (adapted to work on medium-sized and large farms), as well as to determine the choice of manufacturers that offer sustainable products. It is assumed that the technical parameters are closely related to the proenvironmental dimension (optimization according to needs). In order to achieving the main aim, partial objectives were formulated and implemented, such as: (a) to reconstruct and interpret relevant literature and selected documents (technology sheets, production and commercial specifications, directives, standards, etc.) and to select the technical parameters which are important from the perspective of customers and suppliers; (b) to compile a list of technical parameters constituting the foundation for the analysis. These specifications became the basis for defining the appropriate direction of further research work (comparison of the technical parameters of agricultural trailers from selected manufacturers), the results of which are presented in the work. The following hypothesis was adopted prior to the research procedures: Due to market requirements and the need to adapt products to regulations, the technical parameters of agricultural trailers with similar characteristics are comparable, regardless of the manufacturer. Therefore, based on the selected parameters, it is difficult to indicate a product that best meets the key requirements of a sustainable product.It is postulated that non-technological parameters, such as brand awareness and consumer experiences resulting from the pro-environmental and social positioning of the manufacturer, should constitute features of a competitive advantage.
