Once more in 2020, EuroTransportMedia publishing house (ETM) asked the readers of the most widely read commercial vehicle magazines in Germany – "trans aktuell", "lastauto omnibus" and "Fernfahrer" – to vote for the best brands in the industry in its readers' poll.

Knorr-Bremse was voted "Best Brand 2020" in the brakes category by the trade readership of its three commercial vehicle magazines. As well as an indicator of brand image, this accolade is regarded as a seal of quality for the safety and reliability of the winning brands and products.

Dr. Peter Laier, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG and responsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems division, comments: "Winning the 'Best Brand' award once again underscores our technology leadership in the market segments we serve.

With our innovations we make a vital contribution to the industry trends of traffic safety, emissions reduction and e-mobility, connectivity and automated driving.

Knorr-Bremse, with its solutions and systems expertise and global presence, plays a key role in ensuring that state-of-the-art commercial vehicle technologies and products find their way into every region of the world."

Bernd Spies, Chairman of the Management Board of Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems, says: "Our special thanks go to our customers for appreciating our quality and service and showing their trust in us, especially in the challenging times of the Covid-19 crisis.

We have been working with many of our customers for years, even decades, and we continue to develop our products and services in close cooperation with them.

The ETM Award shows how closely we are in touch with the needs and wishes of our customers. The way we work together reflects our motto: 'Shaping tomorrow's transportation. Together.'"

The award ceremony of Germany's largest readers' poll for commercial vehicles was held online for the first time, as the in-person event originally planned for 18 June 2020 could not be held due to the restrictions imposed following the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a virtual award ceremony, ETM and DEKRA announced the winners of the renowned ETM Awards on 23 July 2020.
