E.M.T. spol. s r.o., one of the leading distributors of spare parts for commercial vehicles in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, is now a new member of the BPW Group. As a subsidiary of BPW spol. s r.o., E.M.T. strengthens the existing spare parts network of the BPW Group, which is growing to a total of 13 branches in both countries.
BAUMA 2025 in Munich is marked by new challenges for the construction industry – from AI and cost pressures to the climate debate. The BPW Group presents intelligent axle and running gear solutions that make commercial vehicles more individual, smarter and more efficient.
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.
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.
The BPW Group will be presenting intelligent solutions for greater efficiency and control in the transport business at IAA 2024 in Hannover. Trailers play a key role here: with innovations such as artificial intelligence and electrical energy generation, BPW is taking transport efficiency and predictability to a new level – and expanding the options available to transport companies.
The AI revolution in transport is unstoppable: the trailer now recognises its optimum load based on the axle loading, checks critical components - and issues a warning before things get expensive and dangerous. The new iC Plus running gear generation from BPW uses intelligent algorithms to analyse braking performance.
Enabling electric refrigeration, the AxlePower energy recovery system developed in partnership with BPW awarded in the Components and Aggregates category.
Experience has shown that new regulations in the transport industry often mean more bureaucracy and increased costs. BPW is now turning the tables, using the new UN ECE R 141 regulation to provide vehicle operators with significantly more value and efficiency. The secret lies in the intelligent iC Plus running gear generation.
Empty runs and under-utilised trailers are considered the number one efficiency killer in the transport industry. However, overloaded trailers can result in lengthy inspections, fines or even accidents. BPW offers a remedy with the intelligent axle load display of the new iC Plus running gear generation.
125 years ago today, on 15th July 1898, Bergische Patentachsenfabrik GmbH was founded in Wiehl (BPW). From its beginnings as a blacksmith's forge for carriage axles with 12 employees, the family-owned company is now one of the innovators in the commercial vehicle industry, successfully developing solutions for the efficient, safe and sustainable transport of goods by road.
With its holistic approach to digitalisation, BPW has fundamentally changed the way trailer running gears are developed, built and maintained. Now the innovation leader is advancing the digital DNA of its running gears to artificial consciousness: the trailer of the future thinks and manages itself. BPW reveals the first details of the new generation iC Plus running gear at transport logistic.
At the international trade fair for logistics and mobility "transport logistic" in Munich (9 - 12 May), the BPW Group will be focusing its trade fair presentation in Hall A6, Stand 310 on efficiency, safety and sustainability. Under the motto "Solutions for driving value in transport", the group of companies is providing answers to the most urgent questions in the transport industry.
