BPW Stand at the 2024 IAA
Germany – Axle and suspension manufacturer, BPW Group of Wiehl, attended the 2024 IAA Transportation event in Hanover, where the company presented intelligent solutions for greater efficiency and control in the transport business. The focus was on innovations for trailers to drive efficiency whilst addressing environmental concerns. The company highlighted gains in the fields of artificial intelligence applications and electrical energy generation solutions.
Products on display included the ePower generator axle, designed to recover energy during braking and driving. This energy can then power electric or hybrid refrigeration units on trailers, offering significant savings in diesel consumption (up to 4,000 litres per year) and reducing CO₂ emissions by around 10 tons per trailer annually.
