The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) is the trade association for manufacturers of light- and medium- duty trailers (under 26,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), suppliers and service providers to the industry, trailer dealers, and OEM tow vehicle manufacturers. For over 30 years, NATM has worked to improve the safety of America’s roadways.
NATM seeks to promote awareness among its members of best industry practices and provide a voice for trailer manufacturers when issues of trailer safety and regulation are considered by Congress and relevant government agencies. NATM’s goal is to promote the safety standards by which the industry is measured. The cornerstone of NATM is its mandatory Compliance Verification Program (NATM CVP), which verifies that NATM member trailer manufacturing companies have the manufacturing processes in place to build trailers that meet applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, federal regulations, and industry best practices, as well as providing members with technical and educational resources. |
