BPW, Europe’s leading manufacturer of axle and suspension systems, continues to set the standard for innovation and reliability in the commercial vehicle industry. With more than 125 years of technical expertise, BPW delivers solutions that combine high-performance, safety, and long service life for heavy commercial vehicles.
Its core portfolio includes rigid and self-steering axles, customised configurations, and both air and mechanical suspension systems, such as the Airlight II Round, ECO Air, Airlight Heavy Duty, and SL suspension. Each system is designed to maximise safety, efficiency, and operational uptime across a variety of trailer types and operating conditions.
At the heart of BPW’s innovation is the ECO Hub system, a trailblazing design that combines efficiency with ease of maintenance. Engineered for the demanding cycles of modern transport, this robust and reliable system is built to last.
Its Formula 1-style inspired hub system allows the entire hub assembly to be removed by simply undoing the hub nut, which acts as a puller without the need for special tools, making brake access faster and reducing downtime.
An advanced multi-seal unit, including upstream sealing lips and a grease-retaining sheath, protects components from dust, dirt, and water ingress, thereby extending bearing life. The hub nut features a torque limiter that automatically sets the correct bearing clearance, preventing over- or under-tightening, while DIN/ISO taper roller bearings offer a heavy-duty, standardised solution that can be checked or replaced without removing the wheel, using cost-effective, widely available spares. Together, these features simplify maintenance, reduce workshop downtime, and deliver cost savings for fleet operators worldwide.
BPW’s commitment goes beyond its products. Customers benefit from expert technical guidance on customised solutions, installation processes, brake calculations, stability analysis and diagnostics. By combining cutting-edge axle and suspension systems with dedicated support, BPW ensures operators achieve maximum performance, efficiency, and reliability across their fleets.
