Economic pressure in the transport industry means that operators of older trailers are increasingly turning to cheaper, refurbished components. However, their origin and reliability are often unclear. With the new Reman Line, BPW is now offering remanufactured ECO Disc TSB brake callipers of the highest quality and with a comprehensive guarantee for the first time.
BPW and HAZET, two internationally established quality brands, have joined forces to make the maintenance and repair of BPW trailer disc brakes even smarter and safer. The new tool kit will impress workshop professionals with its well thought-out tools, practical design, digital functions - and even its significantly more attractive price.
The full-service workshop concept 'Alltrucks Truck & Trailer Service' and BPW Bergische Achsen KG came to an international cooperation agreement ahead of the IAA Transportation: through this cooperation, BPW will enhance its service networks with Alltrucks workshops in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland.
Telematics is not only indispensable for heads of transport companies, drivers and dispatchers; access to vehicle data also provides a huge relief for fleet managers. Now, market leader idem telematics is expanding its cargofleet 3 platform to include intelligent maintenance management, which is already paving the way for AI-driven predictive and preventive maintenance.
Christian Loidolt will succeed Ralf Maurer as Managing Director and Chairman of the Executive Board at PE Automotive GmbH & Co. KG. Loidolt took up the position on 1 February 2021 and will drive forward business activities at PE together with Markus Seitz, long-standing Managing Director at the company.
Corona hits the transport industry hard. This means that many transport companies are doing without the purchase of new trailers, with some even saving on maintenance. BPW and PE Automotive are therefore launching a support programme together to have fleets of trailers reconditioned, keeping them on the road for longer.
The Truck Racing Team T Sport Bernau with driver and runner-up European champion Antonio Albacete can look forward to the support of the BPW Group this year. PE Automotive GmbH & Co. KG and BPW Bergische Achsen KG have extended their partnership with the team for 2020. The BPW Aftermarket Group Deutschland as well as the brands Monark and Ermax are also getting involved.
The BPW Group has already successfully established digital platforms and business models with the European market leader for trailer telematics, idem telematics, and webshop specialist and spare parts data aggregator PE Data. In future, the company intends to be even more adaptable when it comes to developing and implementing new digital ideas.
If you want to find out about quality in the spare parts service, ask the professionals. Every two years, the editors of the professional journal “PROFI Werkstatt” ask their readers to rate the quality of the most important products and services. BPW has become the frontrunner in a key discipline - and is announcing the next service innovations in time for the Automechanika and IAA trade fairs.
With upLink a smartphone or tablet is all that is needed to find out the spare parts data for the truck and even the trailer: the BPW Aftermarket Group is now offering commercial vehicle workshops a mobile web app that enables them to identify and order spare parts in seconds, without being restricted to a specific manufacturer.
