According to Wolfgang Krinner, Member of the Management Board of Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems: ?Our EAC system has been chosen as the most groundbreaking truck product from among the 5,000 or so exhibitors from all over the world at Automechanika. This is a great tribute to the innovativeness of our company. EAC is an intelligent, highly-integrated product that cuts costs for our customers by reducing energy consumption. In addition, by taking back old products for remanufacturing, we are able to achieve aftermarket savings of up to 75 percent in the CO2 emissions compared to a new product. This is one of the highest percentages in the industry.?
Automechanika Innovation Award for EAC electronic air treatment system
The entries for the Automechanika Innovation Awards are judged on innovativeness, the excellence of the solution, functionality, aftermarket relevance, safety and quality, as well as on their contribution to environmental protection, resource efficiency and sustainability. Knorr-Bremse?s EAC incorporates the air dryer, multi-circuit protection valve, pressure regulator and ? if required ? electronic parking brake, as well as the compressor controller. While conventional controllers supply compressed air to the system regardless of the driving situation, the EAC?s intelligent electronics ensure that times when kinetic energy is available from the vehicle are prioritized for supplying air from the compressor. This enables annual savings of up to 1,250 liters of fuel.
Moreover, service technicians can replace not only entire EAC modules, but also individual components, thereby significantly reducing resource consumption.
