However, our products at- tracted an enormous level of attention. After all, these environmental initiatives often neglect the trailer which does make a very important contribution towards efficient operation. Depending on the axle configuration, the fuel saving can be up to 1 litre per 100 km. »In the future, electronics is going to play a decisive role in running gear for trailers.« Customers were also hugely interested in the ECO Disc. Another important topic con- cerned running gear electron- ics, which are set to play an important role in the trailer in future as well. We are re- sponding to these demands for electronic running gear solutions with the new BPW ECO Tronic product range. The first off the mark here was the BPW EBS with numerous BPW own functions. These of- fer customers many advantag- es particularly when it comes to efficiency. The new products do full justice to our market position as a system supplier for trailer running gear. The customer gets everything from a single source – simply 100% BPW. Dr. Ing. Bert Brauers, Member of the BPW Board of Manage- ment and General Sales Management China is looking at the Eu- ropean transport market with anticipation. As a manufactur- er of premium products, BPW is a trendsetter in the Chinese market. »BPW has been producing in China since 1996.« The high quality of BPW pro- ducts and the good service is highly appreciated by Chinese customers. Since 1996, we have been producing axles for the domestic market and neigh- bouring countries at our plant in Meizhou , in the Guangdong Province of southern China. Xiong Min Qiang, Sales Manager at BPW China The use of advanced EBS braking functionality in conjunction with on-trailer telematics offers tremendous opportunity for creating productivity in fleet manage- ment, M&R, truck independ- eant driving behaviour, safety monitoring and increased security by monitoring load parameters. »Initiatives accelerate development.« Initiatives such as the BPW / Haldex cooperation broaden the technology basis and will help us accelerate the devel- opment and adoption of this technology. Walter Verhelst, Director Asset Intelligence Europe, GE Capital Solutions We produce special trailers for special transporters with up to six axles and have been installing BPW axles for ten years now. We expect BPW to provide us with a competitive price, the best quality and ease of maintenance. »We’ll also convince Japan of the advantages of the trailer disc brake.« BPW has always been able to convince us, which is some- thing you can’t say about axle manufacturers in Japan! There, disc brakes have scarce- ly featured to date. Japan is still a market for drum brakes in trailers, but I think that this situation is set to change with the new products.
