According to Dr. Peter Laier, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG and re-sponsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems division: “Engine air management is key to ensuring low real-world driving emissions for diesel vehicles in long-distance operation. Our exhaust valves offer precision control of engine air circulation and reflect Knorr-Bremse’s extensive experience in this field. Now, by expanding our aftermarket portfolio to include turbochargers, we are taking this expertise a logical step further.” Turbochargers harness the exhaust energy to force compressed outside air into the com-bustion chamber. This boosts the engine output and makes for cleaner combustion.

Extensive Service Concept
Knorr-Bremse is offering turbochargers from the leading original equipment suppliers. They will be supplied in the familiar Knorr-Bremse packaging and in most cases with the corre-sponding mounting kit. As well as offering high standards of technical performance, the tur-bochargers are also backed by the comprehensive Knorr-Bremse service concept, provid-ing a highly attractive overall package for customers.

Knorr-Bremse’s extensive logistics network will ensure fast and reliable supply, while a re-turns system for used turbochargers will be integrated into the existing core management program. All products are also backed by the high-quality range of aftermarket services of-fered by TruckServices, including regularly updated multilingual product documentation for turbochargers. Customer contact is handled by local sales teams and by the sales support and technical hotline. The existing training program will also be extended to cover turbo-chargers.

EconX Turbochargers for Value-Based Repairs
In line with the Knorr-Bremse TruckServices Lifetime Efficiency principle, almost all turbo-chargers will also be available as remanufactured EconX products, allowing Knorr-Bremse to offer sustainable, cost-efficient repair solutions for older vehicles too.
