Knorr-Bremse has announced that it has sold its 9.2% stake in Haldex to SAF-Holland, ending its financial interest in the Swedish brakes and suspensions manufacturer.

V Orlandi SpA is an Italian manufacturer known for its various components for connecting tractor units to semi-trailers. As it happens, so is its parent company SAF-Holland SE, which acquired Orlandi in 2018. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that SAF-Holland is currently merging Orlandi more closely with its own business operations, with the aim of combining them into a single business unit for towing systems.

SAF-Holland has acquired truck and trailer parts supplier IMS Ltd from Dutch firm IMS Group, with the view of expanding its market share in Britain and Ireland. 

The axle and brake manufacturer achieved sales of EUR1.247bn in 2021, with improved performance across the globe.

Chereau has unveiled its new electric reefer featuring solar panel and a regenerative axle at the Solutrans show in Lyon.

Carrier Transicold has exhibited a range of products targeting the sustainable refrigeration market at the Solutrans show in Lyon, France.

Lamberet showcased a range of sustainably-powered refrigerated trailers and bodies at the Solutrans show in Lyon, France.

When it opens in 2022, the 4,000 sq m plant will be dedicated to the production of the Intra series of air suspension systems for trucks and trailers.

SAF Holland has reported test results from its initial test phase under real-world operation of its electric trailer axles, the SAF TRAKr and the SAF TRAKe, have proven to be successful.

Axle specialist, SAF-HOLLAND GmbH of Bessenbach, Germany and British electric motor producer, Advanced Electric Machines Ltd are working together to develop the latest edition of the SAF TRAKr regenerative braking axle.

Entry into the commercial register of the local court of Aschaffenburg means SAF-Holland SE has completed the transfer of its registered office from Luxembourg to Bessenbach with full legal effect.

The majority of shareholders of SAF-Holland SA last month voted in favour of changing the legal status of the truck and trailer components supplier to SAF-Holland SE, which stands for Societas Europaea and with the future registered office being in Bessenbach – where the company’s main manufacturing and operational headquarters already exist.
