The Knorr-Bremse aftermarket Ecosystem has a clear goal: to measurably increase the efficiency of all market players through data-driven services, digital platforms, and innovative products. Knorr-Bremse's transformation from a component supplier to a digital solution provider strengthens the position of the independent aftermarket and opens up new revenue potential. To this end, Knorr-Bremse offers an intelligent combination of workshop and fleet solutions, which were recently supplemented by the establishment of a joint venture with Dutch aftermarket partner WAGH B.V. (WESP-Group) and the acquisition of the service booking portal TRAVIS.
Bernd Spies, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG with global responsibility for the Commercial Vehicle Systems division: “The commercial vehicle aftermarket is facing major challenges from a shortage of skilled workers and rising operating costs to new requirements for sustainability and efficiency. With our aftermarket Ecosystem, we are creating a platform that addresses precisely these issues: it increases transparency, connects data and services more intelligently, and thus increases efficiency for all market participants. Thereby, Knorr-Bremse supports and empowers its customers in achieving more sustainable, high-performance, and future-proof fleet and vehicle operations.”
The Knorr-Bremse TruckServices Ecosystem consists of four interconnected components that create customer value, optimize maintenance, drive digitalization in the aftermarket, and strengthen Knorr-Bremse's aftermarket business:
• Cojali: Multi-brand workshop diagnostics and telematics solutions, including remote diagnostics to improve vehicle availability and increase the efficiency of repair and maintenance processes.
• PleaseFix: Cloud-based booking and capacity management system for optimizing workflows and utilization, specifically for commercial vehicle workshops.
• WESP CV (Commercial Vehicles): Data-based workshop benchmarking that enables commercial vehicle workshops to identify additional potential for increasing revenue and process efficiency.
• TRAVIS: Digital platform for searching, booking, and payment of road services such as parking, cleaning, charging, and repairs.
Together, these offerings form the core of a holistic, open digital platform orchestrated by Knorr-Bremse. The focus is on the intelligent networking of all market participants: workshops, fleets, and dealers benefit from greater transparency, faster access to services, simplified processes, and well-founded, data-based decisions.
