News about Truck & Trailer cables …

From July 2024, newly approved trailers must be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems.

This results in numerous advantages that not only increase safety, but also save costs and increase the availability of your vehicles contribute. elkatec^™ now supplies the appropriate cabling for all common tire pressure control systems (according to the new ECE 141 regulation). For example, new connections from TPMS/RKDS are connected to a wide variety of EBS systems from WABCO/ZF*, Knorr-Bremse AG* or Haldex* and picked up the required signals there.

Every TPMS system must be connected to the EBS modulator. Here elkatec^™ offers you a variety of solutions. Together we determine the right interfaces and create a cabling concept that is optimal for your vehicle type. If interfaces are occupied, e.g. by telematics units or diagnostic devices, we will also develop the appropriate cable variants here.
