Hyundai Translead today announced the HT-X dry van trailer, the industry’s first trailer backed by a ten-year limited warranty. Purpose built for real-world fleet ownership life cycles, the HT-X marks a new approach to trailer engineering - one that aligns design and supplier collaboration to drive long-term assurance.

Moving beyond the industry’s traditional five-year standard, the HT-X supports extended service life with parts and labor coverage that is transferable once beyond the original owner. Engineered with the customer in mind, it aims to help fleets better manage total cost of ownership. This long-term warranty reflects Hyundai Translead’s confidence and commitment to product durability and lifecycle performance.

The HT-X is built on close collaboration with leading industry suppliers whose components play a critical role in long-term durability and reliability. Participating suppliers included in the ten-year warranty coverage include: Alcopanel, ConMet, Haldex, Hutchens, JOST, Meritor, Phillips, PSI, Transtex, and Truck-lite.

“The HT-X reinforces Hyundai Translead’s commitment to building products with a long-term perspective and standing behind them with confidence,” said Sean Kenney, Chief Executive Officer of Hyundai Translead. “We’re grateful to our supplier partners for their collaboration and support, which play a critical role in bringing HT-X to market.”

The HT‑X configuration is exclusive to partnered suppliers and must be built using components specifically developed to support the enhanced warranty requirements. The HT‑X will be introduced in limited quantities in 2026, with full production expected to scale in 2027. With the HT-X, Hyundai Translead establishes a new benchmark for durability and warranty commitment - reinforcing its focus on product quality and its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of fleet customers.
