Knorr-Bremse and WESP Partner on Digital Solutions for CV

Munich, Germany- Knorr-Bremse AG., is a German manufacturer of braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles, and WESP B.V., have partnered to develop digital solutions for the commercial vehicle industry. Their first product, a workshop benchmarking system, debuted at Automechanika 2024 in Frankfurt.

Now in pilot testing across the Netherlands and Germany, the system features a performance dashboard that uses anonymized data to help workshops enhance efficiency, boost sales, and make informed decisions.

Mr. Alexander Wagner, Vice President Global Aftermarket/TruckServices, Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems, said, “Our partnership with WESP will enable us to offer data-driven consulting services to commercial vehicle workshops that will help to directly improve their efficiency. Our strategic partnership brings together WESP’s expertise in digital services for workshops with Knorr-Bremse’s expertise in the commercial vehicle market. In the future, we’ll be working with WESP on additional services that will enhance efficiency along the entire aftermarket value chain, making an important contribution to our strategy as a whole.”

Mr. Bas Wintjes, Managing Director of WESP, said, “Garage companies have a wealth of data in their own garage management software. With Knorr Bremse's market knowledge, we can combine the key performance indicators of the truck & trailer world with the dashboards of WESP. Together, we can then show workshops where they can further improve their performance. Fact-based.”
