Ringfeder Power Transmission India, part of VBG Group that owns three different businesses internationally, supports its group company VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment’s business in the Indian market
VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment offers products and services that contribute significant value for customers and users in the form of increased reliability, personal safety and efficiency. The division’s two brands for drawbar couplings, VBG and Ringfeder, account for more than 50 per cent of the world market. VBG is the leader in Scandinavia and the UK, while Ringfeder is strong in the rest of Europe and other markets, such as Australia and India. VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment also holds a world-leading position in truck and trailer sliding roofs through the Edscha TS brand.
Edscha Trailer System products has the market’s broadest product portfolio for the conversion of tarpaulin-covered trucks and trailers, with a focus on road transport. The brand also has a product range for railway wagons and tipper vehicles. The Edscha Trailer Systems and Sesam brands are well-known and strong, among both customers and end users. VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment pursues sales in approximately 70 countries, in which its offering is addressed to several different customer groups. For drawbar couplings, the most common customer segment is body builders. For sliding roofs, the largest customer segment is manufacturers of tarpaulin-covered trucks and trailers.
Ringfeder couplings have gained a reputation for endurance after 55 years of operating in the toughest trucking conditions. Ringfeder offers a comprehensive and proven range of couplings for hinged and rigid drawbar applications. The range includes couplings for 50 mm and 40 mm towing eyes. Ringfeder also provides NATO-approved hook couplings for truck–trailer applications in the defence industry. Edscha Trailer Systems, the European market leader and inventor of the sliding roof for trucks, is a byword for technological leadership in the field of sliding roofs worldwide. Decades of engineering, know-how, continual optimization, permanent quality assurance and expert customer service are the cornerstones of the Edscha TS quality promise.
Whether curtain sider, full tarpaulin or sliding bow roof, Edscha TS offers optimal solutions and the best price-performance ratio for all kinds of cargo carriers with tarpaulin covers. In addition to customized product solutions for truck and rail traffic, Edscha TS is also a partner for individual challenges in all applications of sliding roof systems. Rapid economic development and the associated expansion of the infrastructure lead to a constant rise in transport volumes. This enormous logistical challenge has primarily been met to date through creativity and the strong commitment of the people working in this industry. The further rise in demand for even greater transport capacity, the increasing quality of freight goods and the accompanying increasing demand for security, productivity and speed of freight transport has led to greater requirements.
Edscha TS offers optimum roof systems for all types of cargo carriers with tarpaulin covers. The newly introduced TipperRoof is a roof for dump trucks that integrates itself ideally into existing work processes and optimizes them, anticipating future laws and safety standards. The Edscha TS TipperRoof reduces loading and tipping times, boasts lower fuel consumption than competitor systems and still stays maintenance-friendly with low wear. The driver can carry out all the necessary work steps safely on his or her own from the ground while upholding all work safety requirements. This makes the TipperRoof the ideal roof for all dump trucks.
VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment’s continual focus on traffic safety has gained the company a reputation as a knowledgeable, value-creating partner in the area. The ability to deliver customized systems solutions rather than individual products is its strongest competitive advantage. For several years, VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment has played an active role in the work to reduce carbon emissions. It has taken part in several international projects associated with longer, heavier vehicle combinations that have resulted in lower fuel consumption per ton shipped. VBG Truck & Trailer Equipment is well-positioned to meet changing customer needs.
