Knorr-Bremse makes agricultural trailers safer
Powerful tractors today pull increasingly heavy trailers at relatively high speeds. As a result, the requirements that agricultural trailers have to meet are becoming more and more similar to those of truck trailers, making it more important than ever for agricultural vehicles to be fitted with the latest safety-critical components. In response, Knorr-Bremse has engineered an innovative system for the agricultural sector – a new field of activity for the company – based on its proven electronic braking system for commercial vehicle trailers.
