“Winning this award is particularly gratifying and makes us proud because we’ve been chosen by people who actually work in the commercial vehicle sector,” said Bernd Spies, Chairman of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH, commenting on the repeat award.
Once a year, publishers ETM ask the readers of their three trade magazines to name the best commercial vehicles and the industry’s best brands. These awards have long been considered a seal of quality in the industry, honoring the high level of safety and quality offered by the products selected. They are also a key yardstick for the level of acceptance and image of the respective brands.
Watched by a large number of high-ranking representatives of the commercial vehicle industry, Bernd Spies stepped up to receive the award in Stuttgart on June 5. “Knorr-Bremse being named best brand again in the ‘brakes’ category spurs us on to channel the comprehensive expertise and experience of our employees into new solutions that will enhance road safety and generate maximum benefits for our customers,” he emphasized.
