Mechanical suspension: ECO Cargo VB
The precise track setting and optimum positioning of the connecting rods ensure less tyre wear and thus even greater efficiency.
The assembly process is simplified by the engraved assembly information and built-in bolt rotation lock as standard. In particular, the track adjustment has been further simplified thanks to the proven setting mechanism of the BPW air suspension (9 t to 12 t).
The latest generation of mechanical suspension systems contains connecting rods with optimised rubber-steel bushings with a long service life as well as replaceable, low-wear and durable spring slides.

Product details
ECO Cargo VB: Fast assembly and low maintenance
The ECO Cargo product line is versatile and features easy assembly along with low maintenance due to the rubber-steel bushes. Another benefit of this mechanical suspension system is its comprehensive corrosion protection (cataphoretic dip-coating).
Top-quality mechanical suspension system
Versions are available upon request with steering axles, overslung and underslung-mounted suspension, pre -assembled parabolic springs and brake cylinders as well as U-stabilizers. Either way, BPW offers top quality from one source.
