As of now, drivers can hand over the verification of a closed cold chain by smartphone app in the customer's preferred format - in paper format from the thermal printer or also by e-mail as a pdf file.

idem telematics makes transport cold chain verification easier, safer and more flexible than ever

Whether vaccines, yogurt or frozen pizza: many transported goods are temperature-sensitive and must be kept cool on the road. The seamless checking and documentation of the cold chain are legally prescribed - however, recipients sometimes prefer a paper printout and at other times data in different formats as proof. Market leader idem telematics has now significantly simplified the verification.

BPW products already fulfil the requirements of the EU simulation tool VECTO.

EU requires climate-friendly trailers from 2024 onwards: BPW products fulfil the requirements for VECTO certification of trailers

The trailer has a significant impact on how economical and climate-friendly the transport is. The EU has also recognised this; from 2024 on the EU will be certifying trailers according to their CO2 emissions. BPW products already fulfil the requirements of the EU simulation tool VECTO, which makes it easier to compare trailers and rewards climate-friendly technologies with a CO2 bonus.

The AirSave tyre pressure control system is so robustly designed that it functions reliably even under extreme operating conditions in off-road operation, e.g. on construction sites.

How special vehicles drive safer and more economically – with the proper tyre pressure

Tyre pressure has a major impact on the transport safety as well as the fuel consumption of the trailer. The increasing popularity of automatic tyre pressure control systems is no surprise, as they quickly pay for themselves and meet new EU regulations. BPW also offers its award-winning AirSave system for low loader trailers and special vehicles with special axle and running gear designs.
