In April 2020 many European countries reached the peak of new infections resulting from the coronavirus, something that is likely to lead to a massive fall in trailer production in the second and third quarters of 2020, according to analysts Clear.

Now manufacturers are having to consider how they can resume production to at least meet the low level of demand that will exist in Q2 2020.
