Artificial intelligence is set to revolutionise vehicle and fleet management and provide vehicle operators with unimagined efficiency gains.

transport logistic 2023: market leader idem telematics paves the way for AI-controlled vehicle and fleet management

The triumphant advance of telematics is unstoppable: idem telematics has tripled its sales of telematics devices in just two years. The company perfectly captures the theme of the trade fair transport logistic - and is driving the revolution in transport through artificial intelligence: the intelligent maintenance calendar is a first step towards AI-driven predictive and preventive maintenance.

With running gears, vehicle components and innovative services from the BPW Group, trailers drive more efficiently, safely and sustainably.

transport logistic: BPW Group shows broad portfolio for more efficiency, safety and sustainability in transport

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.

Modular vehicles move extreme loads under challenging conditions. One transport module is equipped with two to eight axle lines or with four to 16 pendulum axles.

Spectacular special vehicles, now also online

Anyone with even a rudimentary interest in technology is bound to be interested in the special vehicles of the commercial vehicle industry. As a leading partner to special vehicle manufacturers, BPW wants to capture this interest, enthusiasm and variety within the industry and present it online on its own website, to appeal both to laypeople and professionals.

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.

idem telematics wins the Telematics Award again in the highly demanding discipline of refrigerated transports

Telematics Award 2022: idem telematics is consistently expanding its leadership in the high-level field of "refrigerated transport"

The VDA as a partner, a governor as patron, an illustrious jury of experts and a strict evaluation process: the Telematics Award, which is presented every two years, pulls out all the stops to reinforce its authority. The fact that industry leader idem telematics is chosen as the winner in the most demanding field of refrigerated transport is the only constant in a changing market.

Vive la liberté: idem telematics and Fraikin cooperate to provide digital independence and security for commercial vehicle rental customers

The French commercial vehicle rental company Fraikin is also successful in Germany with a cross-brand selection of vehicles and innovative fleet management. Rental customers should also enjoy freedom and independence on the data superhighway, which is why Fraikin Germany is cooperating with the European market leader idem telematics on vehicle networking.

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.

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.

Thanks to innovative running gear technology from BPW, low-loaders are becoming increasingly versatile and even more manoeuvrable.

BPW: Top engineering for low loader trailers

Low loader trailers are used on the road and off-road, because no other vehicle type transports large, heavy and complex goods from A to B more efficiently. Thanks to innovative running gear technologies, low loader trailers are becoming increasingly versatile and even more manoeuvrable. At bauma (outdoor area north, stand 827/9), market leader BPW will be showing what is technically possible.
