#jostgreen: JOST contributes to making commercial vehicles more environmentally friendly

#jostgreen
JOST provides technologies supporting electric or hybrid engines as well as developing light-weight materials to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

DCA WEIGHTMASTER PLUS:
new weight-optimised axle
Reducing emissions, protecting resources and maximising efficiency were the key aims when developing the lightest axle in its class. The optimised structure of the entire axle reduces the trio weight by 51 kg. In combination with the optional Weight Optimiser 27, further weight savings of 27 kg are possible in the trio.

E-Axle: Save while driving
With the e-axle, JOST offers a cost-efficient and modular system that can be used flexibly for battery-electric trucks as well as for vehicles with conventional combustion engines in a resource-saving manner.

The emission-free drive ensures a reduction in CO2 emissions in conventional diesel vehicles and increases the range of the vehicle combination, regardless of drive type. In field testing, over 20 per cent was achieved.

SAF CONNECTED:
Beating the drum... and
beating down whole-life costs

At the heart of SAF CONNECTED is the SAF INTRADISC axle and suspension system. It’s been scientifically proven that a trailer equipped with SAF INTRADISC brakes will consistently stop within a significantly shorter distance compared with drum brakes. SAF-HOLLAND is now “beating the drum” in more ways – challenging old habits and bringing real financial advantages through switching to disc systems.

SAF CONNECTED - the benefits:

   • 6-year warranty on SAF INTRADISC axles
   • 6-year warranty on Haldex EB+ 4.0 braking
     systems
   • Free AXSCEND EBPMS hardware and 12
     months airtime
   • Free subscription to AXSCEND’s digital
     maintenance planner

All this provides far better operational visibility, simpler compliance, and greater confidence in the long-term reliability of operators’ trailers without adding to capital costs. Switch to disc brakes and stay ahead of DVSA requirements and beat down whole life costs.
