With GSAT (Global Scalable Air Treatment), Knorr-Bremse is introducing a technology platform that implements all functions and legal requirements in a modular, scalable and integrated way - worldwide and across all vehicle types.
The modular construction used in GSAT is revolutionary. The combination of an aluminum plate, interior plastic components and a steel plate achieves the structural strength required to withstand the air pressure levels present in the system.
GSAT is based on 20 years of development and field experience in Electronic Air Control (EAC). Since the start of series production in 2004, six product generations have been developed and launched as series products. Around 3.5 million EAC units have been installed in customers’ commercial vehicles worldwide to date.
