SAF-HOLLAND SE is a leading international manufacturer of suspension-related assemblies and components for trailers, trucks and buses.
Its product range ranges from trailer axle and suspension systems to fifth wheels and coupling systems for trucks, trailers and semi-trailers, as well as brake and trailer EBS systems. "Visit the stand we are sharing with Haldex. Under the 'SAFHOLLAND for better Transportation' motto, we will be showing you the latest mobility solutions and the wide range of products and brands for your transport tasks", says Christoph Günter, President EMEA and Chief Technology Officer (CTO). "This year's trade fair motto is based on the three pillars, which are 'More safety', 'More sustainability' and 'More partnership', and it combines the central themes of our trade fair presence".
More safety
Safety in the commercial vehicle and transport industry is crucial when it comes to the reliability and efficiency of modern logistics processes. New technologies, current regulations and safety requirements are challenging for vehicle manufacturers. Issues such as cybersecurity are becoming increasingly important for electronic and mechatronic components, such as the Haldex EB+ 4.0 Trailer EBS. SAFHOLLAND is closely connected to its customers and supports the shaping of future legislation in working groups to help proactively shape new developments in the industry and maximise customer added value.
Haldex is expanding into the truck market with the innovative ModulT system truck disc brake. This is an important step forward for ModulT technology, as the singlepunch design comes with significant weight savings and cost benefits. The ModulT truck brake will be fitted as standard by a major truck manufacturer from the third quarter of this year.
Modern tyre pressure monitoring systems make sure your tyre pressure is correct and minimise the risk of a tyre being damaged or failing. The SAF TIRE PILOT I.Q. or the Haldex TPMS 2.0 monitors the tyre pressure in accordance with the requirements of UN ECE-R-141, although the SAF TIRE PILOT I.Q. goes one step further and not just warns, but also automatically tops up on loss of pressure. Holland fifth wheels with integrated locking protection and visual safety indicator guarantee a safe connection between truck and trailer. The advanced version of the Automated Coupling sees SAF-HOLLAND demonstrating pioneering technology, where the truck and trailer are coupled automatically without the driver having to leave the cab. Sensor and remote control options can be added to the robust and user-friendly trailer couplings from V.ORLANDI.
More sustainability
Sustainability and environmental protection are becoming more and more important. EU regulations to reduce CO2 emissions, such as VECTO certification, present new challenges for the transport and commercial vehicle industry. SAFHOLLAND supplies energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products and solutions, such as the SAF TRAKr electric trailer axle, which uses regenerative braking to reduce CO2 by converting the trailer's kinetic energy into electrical energy. For steering systems, the electro-hydraulic steering systems from VSE contribute to fuel savings thanks to low weight and optimised steering angle. The lightweight and robust bar (SEM) and cable steering (GreenSteering) systems improve manoeuvrability. Lower friction when cornering reduces tyre wear and improves fuel consumption. The HOLLAND RECOLUBE BIOPOWER SKX 023 special lubricant lubricates fifth wheels using biodegradable grease and contains more than 80 percent renewable raw materials, making it safe for people and the environment.
More partnership
"As a partner to industry and fleet operators, we strive to increase vehicle safety and sustainability with our products and provides attractive solutions for the challenges of digitalisation and electromobility, in addition to delivering products that are optimised for weight and cost", says Alexandre Charpiot, Vice-President Sales EMEA at SAF-HOLLAND. "This understanding defines our product development, our service and our aftermarket solutions. It also has a positive effect on our new product families. We are continuously expanding our portfolio and supply our customers with a lot of brands under our umbrella, with our tried-and-tested SAF-HOLLAND service". In addition to axle, suspension, brake and steering systems, the extensive range includes fifth wheels, kingpins and other accessories, marketed under the SAF, HOLLAND, Haldex, Axscend, GreenSteering, KLL, Neway, SEM, Tecma, V.Orlandi and York brands.
Visitors to the trade fair are cordially invited to come to Stand A06 in Hall 26 and find out about these and other product solutions on the trend topics of safety and sustainability.
