Unbreakable – and pretty cool: the new generation of the indestructible Ermax tail lights, now even better with an LED chase
- BPW Group introduces the new generation of the Ermax tail lights to Agritechnia
- Indestructible housing integrates seven functions in a cool slim line design
- For the first time with a dynamic, intermittently flashing LED in a trailer tail light
- Battle against microplastic: extremely robust design despite toughest applications
Szombathely/Wiehl, 1 October 2019 – A tail light with a cool design and dynamic flashing – on an agricultural commercial vehicle of all things! The BPW Group will show that the attractive form of the next generation trailer tail lights is a continuation of its function at the Agritechnia trade fair (10-16 November in Hanover; Hall 15, Stand E05) – and why they're worthwhile for the vehicle operator and the environment.
Last September at the IAA Commercial Vehicles exhibition, BPW caused a stir with a new tail light that could even withstand targeted hits with a hammer. Now BPW is already introducing the next generation of the cool, dynamic LED chase – and has, after much deliberation, selected the Agritechnia trade fair for the premiere:and no wonder, seeing as extreme durability is a deciding characteristic for components of agricultural machines. The Ermax tail light combines seven functions in one housing with a depth of only 47 mm. The functions include the indicator and brake light failure check and the control system for the side marker light indicator function. All functions are integrated in the light in 12 V and 24 V for use in agricultural and commercial vehicles. The intermittent, dynamic indicator light "runs" outwards and evokes the Lamborghini Aventador – a cheeky reference to the founder of Italian supercars, who began his career as a manufacturer of agricultural machinery. Highly shock-resistant polycarbonate, completely LED lamps and "Superseal" connections hermetically sealed against water and dust equip the tail light for the toughest applications – whether in a field, construction site or on the motorway.
The extreme durability is advantageous for your wallet and nerves and also helps the environment: conventional tail lights generally crumble to microplastic within a year – whether through vibrations, falling rocks, potholes or parking accidents. The tail light is designed to last for the entire vehicle life, meaning a replacement would pay for itself very quickly: The time of notoriously dimly lit agricultural trailers is definitely over.
Torben Pagh, Managing Director of Ermax A/S, the manufacturer of the Ermax lights: "The first generation of our indestructible tail lights was already an immediate bestseller. This new generation will bring cost-effectiveness and trendiness into perfect harmony. The shift of lights from consumable and disposable articles to long-term quality products also sustainably reduces the entry of microplastic into the environment."
