Speed, precision and availability are what count in the commercial vehicle spare parts business. This is precisely where BPW’s revamped web shop comes in: thanks to intelligent functions, day-to-day activities for commercial vehicle spare parts dealers are made easier.
Telematics technology is essential for the business of many transport companies, especially in the pharmaceutical sector. Sensitive freight is one of the most important business areas for GRIESHABER Logistik: it transports items such as human medical products, medical devices, production and freezer tanks, hazardous substances and laboratory samples at temperatures from -95 to +25 degrees Celsius.
The networked trailer is increasingly becoming standard in the commercial vehicle industry: the advantages of data-supported real-time functionalities, remote diagnostic, tracking, tyre pressure data and maintenance data are on board as standard at Chéreau.
The cargo area of a trailer can be a dangerous workplace: dim lighting, load securing equipment lying around as a potential tripping hazard and inadequately secured loads can pose considerable risks. HESTAL addresses these challenges with the new MultiMaster, a multifunctional roof rail that will be presented at IAA Transportation 2024.
At IAA TRANSPORTATION idem telematics will present a new AI-powered voice assistant, which enhances the award-winning telematics platform cargofleet 3 with the capability of natural voice and text dialogue.
With their new running gear generation iC Plus, BPW has brought intelligent algorithms to trailer running gears for the first time. At IAA, BPW is now presenting a retrofit solution including utilisation recognition, predictive maintenance and optimised fleet efficiency - and with a minimal investment and installation effort.
With aerodynamic fine-tuning, the product developers at HESTAL have been able to significantly reduce the aerodynamic drag of trailers – without significant additional costs for vehicle manufacturers and haulage companies. The HESTAL FlowMaster is even retrofittable and achieves savings. At IAA TRANSPORTATION, HESTAL is tempting visitors with a special trade fair promotion.
