RSS4319 Wabco has expanded its long term partnership with Kögel through a new supply agreement for the company’s TrailerGuard system, a state-of-the-art telematics technology for trailer fleet management. Kögel, one of the largest manufacturers of commercial trailers in Europe, is headquartered in Burtenbach, Germany.

TrailerGuard combines telematics with diagnosis of the vehicle’s various operating data. From any location via an easy-to-use internet portal or via integration with a fleet management system, fleet personnel can monitor brake wear, mileage, temperature inside a refrigerated trailer, doors, tyre pressure, axle load and the trailer’s electronic braking system (EBS), among other operating functions. The system also enables a vehicle to be located in real time, allowing optimised utilisation of each trailer.
