VISION mobility readers name BPW ‘Best supplier’

BPW shines at the IAA in Frankfurt as ‘Best supplier’ – the medium-sized company that actually specialises in commercial vehicle and transport technologies. VISION mobility, Deloitte and the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) honored BPW for a drive axle that can be used in the conversion of trucks from diesel to electric drives.

Even with heavy factory traffic, the rumbling diesel noise is becoming increasingly rare at BPW in Wiehl as more and more electric forklifts, transporters, company cars and even two mighty 40-ton trucks whizz silently across the premises.

BPW expects CO2-pricing to drive innovation in transport and logistics

Between 2017 and 2018, BPW Bergische Achsen KG reduced its CO2 emissions by 60 percent to 7,855 tonnes. This dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at the main production plant was made possible by shifting to green electricity and e-mobility. However, the family business sees the highest potential for more climate protection in its innovations for transport and logistics.

Double award: Josha Kneiber, Head of Product Management and Strategic Sales Electromobility at BPW, is delighted about the German Innovation Award in gold for BPW eTransport. BPW AirSave was declared as "Winner".
