Wabco debuts TX-Trailerguard, new fleet management solution

Wabco Holdings Inc., supplier of technologies to improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicles, introduced its next-generation TX-Trailerguard fleet management solution at IAA Commercial Vehicles 2014 in Hanover, Germany. TX-Trailerguard combines the functionalities of Wabco’s Trailerguard telematics solution with Transics International’s back-office software platform TX-Connect. TX-Trailerguard helps commercial vehicle fleet operators improve their vehicle fleets’ safety and efficiency performance while reducing cost, according to the company.

TX-Trailerguard marks the first product integration after Wabco acquired fleet management systems company Transics in February 2014. The  telematics solution integrates the comprehensive real-time data gathered from Wabco’s onboard advanced braking, stability control and efficiency systems with Transics’ back-office software, TX-Connect, and its related suite of telematics systems. TX-Trailerguard enables effective truck, trailer, driver and cargo management in real time. The new integrated telematics system will be available from 2015.

Wabco’s Trailerguard telematics system, introduced in 2010, allows commercial vehicle fleets to monitor remotely a vehicle’s various operating data such as electronic braking system (EBS) performance, roll-over alerts, mileage, axle load, tire pressure, temperature inside a refrigerated trailer and door status, among other operating functions. In addition, Trailerguard offers remote diagnostics capabilities enabling fleets to schedule preventative maintenance.TX-Connect aggregates these newly available data streams into a single dispatcher view and related management reports, providing fleet operators additional insights to improve their fleets’ safety and efficiency performance.

“Today’s launch of TX-Trailerguard further demonstrates Wabco’s commitment to the success of commercial vehicle fleets worldwide. It marks the powerful integration of comprehensive real-time data gathered from Wabco’s onboard advanced braking, stability control and efficiency systems with Transics’ innovative telematics solutions for the first time,” said Nick Rens, President, trailer systems, aftermarket and off-highway division. ”This next-generation trailer telematics solution will offer fleet operators a rich source of data to enhance their fleet services, increase vehicle safety and efficiency, and help lower operational cost.”

Following the acquisition of Transics, Wabco has advanced the integration and global expansion of fleet management solutions. As recently announced, Wabco signed a  contract with Saudi-Arabia based Almarai, one of the world’s largest dairy companies. Wabco will equip Almarai’s entire long-haul vehicle fleet of more than 1,300 trucks with its industry-leading fleet management solutions.
