Wabco, a tier-one supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, has received a contract from European commercial trailer manufacturer, KÕgel, to deliver TrailerGUARD fleet management system.
The company's TrailerGUARD incorporates telematics with analysis of various operating data of the vehicle.
Wabco said that the system will allow the fleet personnel to check brake wear, mileage, temperature within a refrigerated trailer, doors, tire pressure, axle load and the trailer's electronic braking system (EBS) from any location through an internet portal.
The company said that the TrailerGUARD also allows a vehicle to be tracked in real time, enabling enhanced deployment of each trailer.
TrailerGUARD Telematics is part of the company's Intelligent Trailer Program, a suite of applications, which will enable trailer builders and fleet operators to choose related and cost-effective functions for their requirements through separate or collective modules.
