Our Cool Liner and KRONE Telematics are a perfect team to relieve you of many transport worries. The intelligent interaction of the trailer with KRONE Telematics allows you to monitor the position and temperature of your cargo online easily and at any time, and even to make direct contact with the refrigerator in order to update settings. As a result, you will always have documentation confi rming the status of your refrigerated goods. All in all, this saves you time and money. And it allows you to always keep a cool head even in hot situations.

EQUIPMENT SPECIALIST, JOST, IS RELEASING A NEW BRAKE PAD RANGE THAT IS OPTIMISED FOR LONGEVITY AND IMPROVED EFFICIENCY. B rake pads are an important element of any disc brake system and can have a huge impact on road safety according to JOST. The latest brake pads from JOST – coloured blue, the colour of innovation – feature unique premium friction material, a steel backplate in JOST Blue for easy recognition, a slot for reliable dirt extrusion, a green coating to aid the conditioning process between pad and disc (even with used discs), an underlay for safe connection between friction material and backplate and a retaining bracket for a stable position in the brake carrier.
“With brake pads by JOST, available summer 2019, heavyweight truck and trailers are brought to a stop reliably, even in challenging transport operations,” JOST says. “With the JOST friction material the brake system is brought to its optimal brake performance and lowest braking distance.”
JOST has invested in decreasing the ‘fading effect’ – where excessive brake use leads to decreasing brake performance.
JOST brake pads feature a friction material that is reported to yield the best possible results at extreme temperatures as they occur during long downhill travel.
“The comparative test according to ISO 26865 with top of the market pads show that the blue JOST brake pads perform significantly better even in challenging transport operations,” JOST says.
Seven million successful test kilometres are proof of concept for the reliability of the JOST blue brake pads.
JOST Head Technical Service – Axle Systems, Klaus Lincke, says that individuals with experience with low quality brake pads realise the consequences of investing in inferior components: increased wear, shorter exchange intervals and worst case scenario – the investment in new brake discs if the old ones are totally worn out. JOST blue brake pads are tested and approved to the highest standards. JOST is committed to ensuring the lowest possible environmental impact.
