SAF-HOLLAND set to showcase upcoming innovations at the IAA event
At the upcoming IAA Transportation 2024 event in Hannover, SAF-HOLLAND, a leading manufacturer of chassis-related components and systems for commercial vehicles, will unveil its latest advancements aimed at enhancing safety and sustainability in road transport.
The company's booth, located at A06 in hall 26, will be a hub of innovation, showcasing a range of products and solutions that align with the event's theme based on the three pillars of 'More safety', 'More sustainability', and 'More partnership'.
SAF-HOLLAND's commitment to revolutionising road safety and making traffic safer is evident in their latest technological advancements. These innovations are expected to target improvements in vehicle safety systems, such as advanced suspensions, axles, and coupling components that enhance vehicle stability and accident prevention.
In addition, SAF-HOLLAND is focusing on sustainability through innovations that contribute to reduced emissions or improved efficiency. This could include lightweight, durable materials or smart solutions to optimize fuel consumption and emissions for trailers and trucks.
The company's mission is to make road transport safer and more sustainable, and while specific details of their innovations are yet to be released, visitors to the exhibition are invited to learn about these and other product solutions related to the trend topics of safety and sustainability.
SAF-HOLLAND's product portfolio includes a wide range of brands, including SAF, HOLLAND, Haldex, Axscend, GreenSteering, KLL, Neway, SEM, Tecma, V.Orlandi, and York. Among the products to be showcased are the SAF TRAKr electric trailer axle, which uses regenerative braking to reduce CO2 emissions, and the advanced Automated Coupling that enables automatic coupling of truck and trailer without the driver leaving the cab.
The ModulT disc brake system, which Haldex is expanding into the truck market, will also be on display. This system offers substantial weight savings and cost advantages. Other innovative solutions include modern tire pressure monitoring systems, like SAF TIRE PILOT I.Q. and Haldex TPMS 2.0, which monitor tire pressure according to UN ECE-R-141 requirements, with SAF TIRE PILOT I.Q. offering automatic refilling in case of pressure loss.
Cyber Security in electronic and mechatronic components, like the Trailer EBS Haldex EB+ 4.0, is gaining importance, and SAF-HOLLAND is addressing this need with its offerings.
SAF-HOLLAND is closely connected with its customers and supports the shaping of future legislation in working groups to proactively influence new developments in the industry and maximize customer value. The company's President EMEA and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Christoph Günter, invites visitors to learn about the latest mobility solutions and products at the event.
New technologies, current regulations, and safety requirements present challenges for vehicle manufacturers, but SAF-HOLLAND is rising to meet them with weight- and cost-optimized solutions. Alexandre Charpiot, Vice President Sales EMEA at SAF-HOLLAND, emphasises the company's commitment to increasing vehicle safety and sustainability.
The ModulT truck brake will be series-produced in a major truck manufacturer from the third quarter of this year, marking another step forward in SAF-HOLLAND's mission to make road transport safer and more sustainable. The special lubricant HOLLAND RECOLUBE BIOPOWER SKX 023, which lubricates fifth wheels with biodegradable fat and consists of over 80% renewable resources, is another example of SAF-HOLLAND's commitment to sustainability.
As the IAA Transportation 2024 event approaches, more detailed updates are expected to provide clearer insights into SAF-HOLLAND’s specific offerings in safety and sustainability. Until then, the company's booth at A06 in hall 26 will serve as a beacon of innovation and progress in the commercial vehicle and transport industry, where safety and sustainability are crucial for the reliability and efficiency of modern logistics processes.
At the IAA Transportation 2024 event, SAF-HOLLAND will showcase its technological innovations that aim to improve vehicle safety systems and promote sustainability in the industry. These advancements are likely to include solutions such as regenerative braking systems, automated couplings, and smart tire pressure monitoring systems.
SAF-HOLLAND is also focusing on sustainability through the development of lightweight materials and innovative electronic and mechatronic components that optimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions. Among these solutions is the HOLLAND RECOLUBE BIOPOWER SKX 023, a special lubricant made with over 80% renewable resources.
