WABCO’s TrailerGUARD combines telematics with diag-
nosis of the vehicle’s various operating data. From any
location via an easy-to-use internet portal or integra-
tion 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). The
system also enables a vehicle to be located in real time,
allowing optimized utilization of each trailer.
“WABCO is a long-term partner and preferred
supplier for Kögel, and we are proud to offer their
award-winning TrailerGUARD system as a premium
telematics solution to meet the diverse needs of our
customers in Europe,” said Thomas Heckel, CEO
and Managing Director at Kögel. “WABCO’s
TrailerGUARD sets the transport industry’s
benchmark for helping our customers to fur-
ther optimize utilization of their assets through
improved vehicle safety and efficiency.”
“We are proud of our expanding partner-
ship with Kögel as they are recognized
within Europe’s commercial trailer in-
dustry as an innovation powerhouse
through their pioneering engineering

Rens, WABCO Vice President, Aftermar-
ket and Trailer Systems. “TrailerGUARD
demonstrates WABCO’s passion for innovation
as we continue to help transport professionals to in-
crease vehicle safety and efficiency while also assessing
their current assets and future investments.”
TrailerGUARD Telematics is part of WABCO’s
award-winning Intelligent Trailer Program, a suite of
applications for safer, more efficient and more innova-
tive operation of all types of trailers. It allows trailer
builders and fleet operators to select those functions that
are most relevant and cost-effective for their particular
needs through separate or combined modules.
