Innovation and Development
Knorr-Bremse’s innovations in the field of commercial vehicles increase the energy efficiency of the vehicle and provide better safety.
Energy efficiency
With the high mileage that a commercial vehicle completes in the course of its life, costs play an important role in the assessment of its cost effectiveness. They are made up to a large extent of fuel costs. Knorr-Bremse is countering diminishing resources, increasing energy costs and the growing demand for climate protection with new energy-efficient systems:
- Pneumatic-Booster system
- Compressor with clutch
- Electronic Air Control
Safety
Road safety is one of the causes of the future which the European Union has also taken up. Knorr-Bremse is developing new applications in this area:
- Electronic Driver Assistance Systems
