WABCO announces trailer innovations
July 2011 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
Wabco has introduced three more functions on its TrailerGuard telematics technology for trailer fleets.

WABCO announces trailer innovationsFunctions include: EBS Advanced, which tracks EBS warning lamps in the vehicle's cabin; roll stability support (RSS), which shows when and how many times RSS has been required to stabilise the vehicle; and operating data recorder, which allows analysis of the driver's performance.

WABCO says the system also alerts fleet operators to any critical situations, enabling appropriate and timely action.

"TrailerGuard is the industry's only system that allows operators to remotely look into the electronic braking system and support the driver to remain compliant with road safety regulations," states Nick Rens, WABCO vice president, trailer systems and aftermarket.

"It also reduces the trailer's downtime, due to standing still in the workshop."
