August 2016 – At the automechanika 2016 trade fair in Frankfurt am Main (September 13-17) Knorr-Bremse will be presenting the new TruckServices brand under which it is to deliver its full range of aftermarket services in the future. Knorr-Bremse TruckServices offers an expanded portfolio of products to underpin its claim to provide reliable, economical solutions for diagnostic, maintenance and repair work on commercial vehicles of any type or age.

The Knorr-Bremse TruckServices promise is summed up by the brand slogan ‘Keep it running’: The company offers an attractive aftermarket package for commercial vehicles of all types and ages that helps keep them operating reliably and economically throughout their entire working life. On offer to distributors, workshops and fleet managers are diagnostics, needs-based maintenance and repair services, plus access to Knorr-Bremse’s extensive expertise via online services, training and individual specialized advice. An efficient international logistics system means the aftermarket portfolio’s wide range of spare parts can be rapidly delivered whenever and wherever required.

As Wolfgang Krinner, Member of the Management Board of Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems GmbH, puts it: “As the world’s biggest trade fair for the automotive aftermarket, automechanika is an appropriate venue for the launch of our new brand. Knorr-Bremse TruckServices understands customers’ needs and can deliver a wide range of reliable, economical aftermarket products and services. As well as the usual Knorr-Bremse OEM products, we also supply many remanufactured ones for value-based repair of older vehicles. In future these will have their own separate brand name: EconX®.”

As a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly option for repairing older vehicles, remanufactured products are an important element in the TruckServices portfolio. Knorr-Bremse’s experience as an original equipment manufacturer means it is familiar with the precise technical requirements for each part and is able to adhere to the highest quality standards throughout the entire remanufacturing process, from initial selection to final completion. Customers can rely on Knorr-Bremse remanufactured products to cover the same range of functions as the original product and to have a life expectancy appropriate for the age of the vehicle concerned. The five letters of the brand name ‘EconX‘ replace the previous term “Genuine Remanufactured Exchange Parts” and sum up the products’ qualities: original, value-based and sustainable. To mark the launch of the new brand at automechanika, Knorr-Bremse is showcasing the latest additions to the EconX portfolio, including an electronic clutch servo – underlining the company’s determination to continuously expand the range on offer.
