As a vehicle transporter manufacturer, the most critical moment for us is when a vehicle needs to stop. A trailer carrying vehicles weighing several tonnes must be able to stop safely in all road conditions and emergencies. At Kalepar, we entrust this responsibility to Wabco, a manufacturer of some of the world’s most advanced braking technologies.

Let’s explore why Wabco EBS and ABS systems, often referred to as the “braking brain,” make Kalepar trailers safer:

1. Intelligent Braking Technology (EBS)

Wabco’s Electronic Braking System (EBS) detects the driver’s brake pedal input within milliseconds and electronically transmits the signal to the wheel brakes. Responding much faster than conventional pneumatic braking systems, it significantly reduces stopping distances. For a loaded trailer, those few metres can be vital.

2. Rollover Protection (RSS)

Due to their design, vehicle transporters can carry loads with a high centre of gravity. Sensors within Wabco’s braking control units continuously monitor the vehicle’s lateral acceleration. When the system detects a rollover risk during cornering, it automatically applies the brakes without requiring driver intervention, helping to stabilise the vehicle. Every vehicle transported with Kalepar benefits from this intelligent protection.

3. Optimum Load Distribution and Stability

The Wabco system automatically detects the weight of the load on the trailer. An empty trailer and a fully loaded trailer require different braking forces. The Wabco braking control unit delivers the appropriate pressure to each wheel, preventing wheel lock-up and providing balanced deceleration while extending tyre life.

4. Digital Diagnostics and Easy Maintenance

Wabco technology allows us to digitally monitor the condition of the vehicle’s braking system. If a fault occurs, the system provides service teams with clear diagnostic data so it can be resolved quickly. For Kalepar users, this means more time on the road and less time in the workshop.

Your Confidence, Our Technology

At Kalepar, we make power with Danfoss, visibility with Aspöck, and complete safety with Wabco standard features. By combining world-class components with precision local manufacturing, we offer you a vehicle transporter that is also a trusted companion on the road.

However challenging the road may be, Wabco technology keeps you in control.
