- Trade fair highlights include weighing without scales
Once considered rustic, the agricultural sector is now regarded as the avant-garde of the commercial vehicle industry – today, innovations often begin in the fields before they reach construction sites and motorways. Conversely, more and more contractors and farmers are relying on large drawbar trailers built for use on motorways, as they increasingly have to cover longer distances with heavier loads between the farm and the field. Both developments put BPW in a perfect position to become a major system partner for the agricultural machinery industry – its Hungarian subsidiary BPW-Hungária, which specialises in agricultural applications, has been growing successfully for years.
According to Peter Csánk, Head of Sales Agriculture Division:
‘BPW demonstrates what we mean when we speak of a system partnership – we work closely with vehicle manufacturers, contractors and farmers to jointly develop relevant innovations with impressive customer benefits.’
The Agriculture 4.0 trend could clearly saw at BPW’s exhibition booth, where the company has exhibited its running gear technology over the course of the year – BPW offers a tailor-made solution for every agricultural process.
The BPW AGRO Hub weighing system is extremely robust, and all of the data is displayed visually and transferred directly to the towing vehicle via ISOBUS and wirelessly to mobile devices via Bluetooth. The first leading manufacturers are now installing the system in their vehicles.
