Whether wind turbine blades, concrete bridges or even complete drilling rigs: for the engineers at axle and running gear specialist BPW, making the impossible transportable is part of their everyday work. They have now set themselves a special challenge: to make the construction of low-loaders even more efficient. The result is a new 7t swing axle that will celebrate its premiere at BAUMA.
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.
Speed, precision and availability are what count in the commercial vehicle spare parts business. This is precisely where BPW’s revamped web shop comes in: thanks to intelligent functions, day-to-day activities for commercial vehicle spare parts dealers are made easier.
Telematics technology is essential for the business of many transport companies, especially in the pharmaceutical sector. Sensitive freight is one of the most important business areas for GRIESHABER Logistik: it transports items such as human medical products, medical devices, production and freezer tanks, hazardous substances and laboratory samples at temperatures from -95 to +25 degrees Celsius.
The networked trailer is increasingly becoming standard in the commercial vehicle industry: the advantages of data-supported real-time functionalities, remote diagnostic, tracking, tyre pressure data and maintenance data are on board as standard at Chéreau.
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.
At IAA TRANSPORTATION idem telematics will present a new AI-powered voice assistant, which enhances the award-winning telematics platform cargofleet 3 with the capability of natural voice and text dialogue.
With their new running gear generation iC Plus, BPW has brought intelligent algorithms to trailer running gears for the first time. At IAA, BPW is now presenting a retrofit solution including utilisation recognition, predictive maintenance and optimised fleet efficiency - and with a minimal investment and installation effort.
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.
Electric refrigeration machines, powered by the recovery of driving and braking energy, are intended to make temperature-controlled transport more climate-friendly. But does it pay off? BPW put it to the test with leading refrigerated logistics companies: The results after more than 350,000 test kilometres convince even sceptics of the cost-effectiveness of the ePower generator axle.
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.
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.
Tyre pressure monitoring or automatic tyre pressure control? BPW Product Manager Caren Freudenberg explains the differences between the various systems, and their advantages.
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.
