Bendix has launched a new center of commercial vehicle information at its website safertrucks.com, centered around a new multimedia center called the Knowledge Dock.

The Knowledge Dock aims to help trucking professionals stay connected to the industry by providing updates on devlopements in truck operation, maintenance and safety. It also examines trucking trends and technology developments. It contains a growing list of videos, blog posts, podcasts and white papers from Bendix’s team of industry experts and features Bendix Tech Tips and video-based Tech Talks.

The Knowledge Dock provides insight, expertise, and perspectives for fleet leadership, owner-operators, drivers, technicians, regulators, engineers, and business leads to help with day-to-day operations as well as long range planning.

There is bumper-to-bumper information on medium- and heavy-duty vehicles including, active and supportive safety technologies, energy management solutions, wheel end components and systems, and air brake charging and control systems.

“We take our commitment to education and post-sales support seriously. That’s one reason we developed this outlet,” said Barbara Gould, Bendix director of corporate communications. “Knowledge Dock on safertrucks.com provides a fresh voice and an easy way for people to stay connected to their industry, from the technical to the topical. Plus, by making the material available 24/7/365, we ensure our industry partners can access it on their own terms, when and where they need it.”

The Knowledge Dock also complements Bendix’s training programs, including the in-person Bendix Brake Training School as well as the online training portal brake-school.com. Bendix’s safertrucks.com also features details about the complete suite of Bendix safety solutions.

“We have a passion for safety and we believe that ongoing training is one of the keys to getting there,” Gould said. “Whether it’s a fleet executive seeking insight about current or pending technologies, a technician performing maintenance in the shop, or a driver doing a pre-trip inspection, safertrucks.com is a great resource.”
