Are you a trailer builder, fleet operator or cargo owner? Are you interested in decreasing the cost of transport, while increasing the driver’s comfort, and improving the safety of the logistics environment?
This is why we offer the Intelligent Trailer Program and the Zero Accident Program.
By providing modular building blocks for trailers, WABCO helps trailer builders and fleet operators to select those functions that are of most relevance and interest for the logistics environment in which the trailer is operated.
In recognition of new breakthrough functionalities to boost the intelligence of trailers to a new level, the VDA (Verband Der Automobilindustrie) and KFZ Anzeiger have honored WABCO’s Intelligent Trailer Program with the Trailer Innovation Awardin the category “Smart Trailer” at the global IAA exhibition during September 2010 in Hanover, Germany.
