Knorr-Bremse
is once again
Best Brake Brand in CV sector
Knorr-Bremse has once again
claimed the title of “Best Brand in
the Commercial Vehicle Sector” in
2012 in the brakes category. On the
heels of the announcement of this
year’s winners, an awards ceremony
with numerous representatives from
the industry was held on May 24 in
the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.
Answering a call from the ETM
Verlag and DEKRA, some 8,000
readers of the industry journals trans
aktuell, lastauto omnibus and FERN-
FAHRER selected their favourites
for 2012 in 22 different categories.
For the seventh year running Knorr-
Bremse was voted the clear leader in
the “Brakes” category.
“We’re very pleased that readers
were once again convinced of the
quality of our products and serv-
ices this year”, said Klaus Deller,
Board member at Knorr-Bremse AG
and responsible for the Systems for
Commercial Vehicles division. “The
award is a strong sign of their faith
in us and means all the more
because it reflects the
opinion of practising ex-
perts. I can’t think of
any greater praise for
our work! Receiv-
ing this award repeat-
edly also shows that we
aren’t resting on our
laurels after our suc-
cess in previous years,
but rather are working to
improve on our products and servic-
es all the time. That’s the only effec-
tive way to remain our customers’
preferred system partner, leading the
way with innovative products with
cutting-edge technology inside”.
In the rail vehicle systems sector,
the product portfolio also includes
intelligent door systems, control
components, air-conditioning sys-
tems, wind-screen wiper systems
and platform doors systems. Knorr-
Bremse also offers virtual driving
simulators and e-learning systems
for optimal training of rail personnel.
In the commercial vehicle sys-
tems sector, the portfolio ranges
from complete braking systems with
driver assistance systems, torsional
vibration dampers and power train-
related solutions to transmission
control systems for greater efficien-
cy and lower fuel consumption.
