"Hyundai Translead is dedicated to delivering solutions that strengthen the connections between businesses, families and communities," says Sean Kenney, CEO of Hyundai Translead. "This commitment is at the core of everything we do. Our latest products and initiatives reflect our unwavering mission of keeping our world in motion."
The new products and solutions introduced at TMC include:

"This approach allows for reduced shipping costs and allows for easy upfitting anywhere, on site," Kenney says.
Latitude flatbed
The redesigned Latitude flatbed is lighter and stronger than previous models, Kenney says. It features a new design with a patent-pending rear ladder with three points of contact, a rear storage box, standard j-hooks and j-tracks with under lighting, and a high-impact side rail. Optional rolling tarp system and side ladders are also available.
Says Kenney, "The latitude is designed with ease of use in mind."
HT HANA
HT HANA is an advanced insulation system that maximizes thermal performance while reducing thickness, Kenney says. The company says it can maintain thermal temperatures with a 35% improved thermal efficiency compared to conventional systems.
HT TEMPS
The Thermal Event Monitoring & Prediction System, or TEMPS, alerts drives with a BLE-enabled warning system to take timely, preventative action before thermal events escalate, Hyundai Translead says. It monitors airflow interruptions and heat buildup to predict potential thermal events in trailers and uploads the data to fleet transportation management systems. The system is in the final stages of field testing and will be available this year, the company says.
HT LinkVue
Hyundai Translead also announced an update to LinkVue, a 360-degree trailer camera system to accommodate third-party integrations. The company's partnership with Platform Science offers integration to its open platform for fleet data, and Kenney adds. the update will make it easier for fleets to integrate HT LinkVue into their operations while leveraging their existing fleet management solution investments.
"We're thrilled to collaborate with Hyundai Translead on integrating HT LinkVue into the Virtual Vehicle ecosystem. This partnership represents not only additional choice for our fleets but enhanced versatility and scalability of the platform," says Brendan Wood, Platform Science's vice president of strategic programs and corporate development. "As trailer technology drives the next wave of advancements in transportation, HT LinkVue is playing a crucial role in elevating safety standards and shaping the future of mobility."
myHT Portal
Finally, Kenney says Hyundai Translead has upgraded the myHT portal to provide enhanced transparency and communication between dealers and customers. It has a redesigned interface, expanded capabilities and a mobile app. It offers insights into quotes, order status, product specifications, history and warranties.
Kenney says together, these new products, technology and services and partnerships are another step in Hyundai Translead's commitment to bringing leading solutions to the transportation industry to keep the world in motion.
