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.
With ARC, the compact, electro-hydraulic auxiliary steering system, BPW has been turning trailers into manoeuvring marvels since 2019. BPW is now adding a forward manoeuvring function to the award-winning solution. This means effortless and even faster manoeuvring with fewer steps – forwards as well as backwards.
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.
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.
idem telematics has broken its own record at the German Telematics Award: the combination of well thought-out practical benefits and sustainable innovative capacity has put the European market leader on the podium five times, including two first-place finishes. A valuable decision-making aid for vehicle operators who want to get involved in vehicle networking with a view to upcoming EU regulations
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.
In agriculture, nature sets the timing: Seizing the right moment can often make or break the successful growth of plants, animals, and businesses. That is why BPW AGRAR is putting the uptime of agricultural vehicles and machinery at the heart of its Agritechnica presentation: At Booth D05 in Hall15, BPW will showcase intelligent, digitized running gear and all-round service concepts.
Logistics company Ludwig Meyer relies on the expertise of idem telematics and TACHOfresh for the conversion to Smart Tacho 2.
BPW has revolutionised the operation and maintenance of trailer axles with the invention of the ECO Plus bearing. The third generation of the bearing has already proven its worth on countless occasions since its introduction in the 9 t axle segment. Now also axles with 10 t to 12 t axle load enjoy the benefits of innovative ECO Plus 3 bearing technology.
CO3, a leading marketplace for advanced data solutions, and idem telematics, a renowned provider of telematics technology and comprehensive fleet management solutions, are pleased to announce their collaboration to offer a new tailored connection that enables fast and easy integration and onboarding.
