The commercial vehicle aftermarket is evolving rapidly: Rising costs, increasing vehicle complexity, and fragmented processes are putting greater pressure on workshops, distributors, and fleets. They must make their operations more efficient, transparent, and interconnected. Knorr-Bremse TruckServices is supporting this transformation with a comprehensive range of products, services, and digital solutions. The company will demonstrate how these components work together to create a “Future Ready Aftermarket” at Automechanika 2026 in Frankfurt am Main (September 8-12, 2026, Hall 3.0).
Bernd Spies, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG and responsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems Division: “OE quality remains our promise to our customers and partners. Our products are synonymous worldwide with safety, reliability, and performance. Today, however, the decisive difference lies in the intelligent combination of high-quality products, diagnostic expertise, and digital services. In this way, we create sustainable added value for workshops, distributors, and fleet operators and help make them even more successful – true to our guiding principle, ‘Future Ready Aftermarket. Products & Services for Today. Solutions for Tomorrow.’
New CVS Service Platform for Greater Efficiency in the Aftermarket
In recent years, Knorr-Bremse has developed an aftermarket service platform with the goal of connecting workshops, fleet operators, distributors, and service partners via a shared platform which provides additional digital services throughout the vehicle’s entire lifecycle. The individual components can be used independently or combined.
Through the digital TRAVIS booking platform, fleets can find, book, and centrally invoice services such as parking, charging, or cleaning. For fleets, this means greater transparency, reduced downtime, and less administrative effort; for service partners, it means higher utilization and greater visibility. Last year alone, more than 1 million bookings were made via TRAVIS.
PleaseFix complements this approach with appointment and capacity management for commercial vehicle workshops. The solution supports workshops in scheduling, capacity management, and communication with customers and connects fleets directly with available workshop facilities. As part of the CVS Service Platform, PleaseFix will be integrated with TRAVIS and expands the platform to include a digital repair and maintenance process.
With WESP CV, Knorr-Bremse has expanded the CVS Service Platform to include a data-driven analytics and benchmarking application for commercial vehicle workshops. These shops can use key performance indicators to compare their processes with those of similar businesses and identify specific areas for optimization. This creates transparency regarding their own performance and helps workshops continuously improve productivity, capacity utilization, and profitability.
Together with Cojali, Knorr-Bremse is also systematically expanding its diagnostic and service offerings. The Knorr-Bremse Diagnostics tool combines the multi-brand vehicle diagnostics of Jaltest Diagnostics with original Knorr-Bremse functions, enabling fast and precise fault analysis. In addition, Jaltest Telematics provides real-time vehicle and operational data and supports fleets in predictive maintenance as well as the optimization of repair and service processes.
TruckServices Expert Network 2.0 Successfully Launched
Today, workshops do far more than just traditional repair work – they are professional service partners. This is exactly where the TruckServices Expert Network comes in. The enhanced partner program has been established on the market since early 2026 and already connects more than 1,100 partner workshops. It combines uniform quality standards, continuous training, online support, and a strong network of technical experts. Partners can benefit from the solutions offered by the CVS Service Platform, as well as technical consulting, training, and partner terms. In this way, the partner program helps workshops continuously expand their service offerings and support their customers even better.
