Equipment specialist, JOST, will present innovative, new products and solutions as an exhibitor at Scandinavia’s leading transport trade show – Transport Herning 2025 – held in Denmark from 3-5 April 2025.
JOST’s latest product showcase will be aligned to the three leading industry trends of assistance systems for drivers (#jostassist), eco-friendly products (#jostgreen) and digital solutions (#jostdigital).
Brian Knudsen, Denmark Area Manager at JOST World, said there was a definite excitement about exhibiting at the renowned trade fair.
“The show offers an ideal opportunity to showcase our innovations as well as our high-quality and proven products for the Scandinavian market,” he said.
“We are proud to contribute to solving the commercial vehicle industry’s challenges, such as driver shortages and emissions reductions.
“The automatic coupling system JOST KKS allows the driver to automatically control and monitor the entire coupling and uncoupling process via remote control from the cab. It is a powerful tool against the driver shortage. Our weight-optimised DCA WEIGHTMASTER PLUS is the lightest axle in its class and reduces the trio weight by 51kg.”
#JOSTASSIST – Smart systems for safety technology
JOST KKS automatic coupling system
The JOST KKS enables drivers to safely and quickly couple and uncouple semi-trailers via remote control without leaving the driver’s cabin. Sensor technology providing live information on the KKS remote control means drivers are guided through the entire coupling process.
Time, comfort and safety gains are made possible with this single product, meaning drivers will no longer need to climb out of the cabin to manually connect spiral cable, air and brake connections.
JOST will present further developments of the KKS, such as the KKS-U Connector which is easily retrofittable to existing trailers. The KKS-U connector controls all the mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic connections between the truck and trailer, eliminating the need for vulnerable air, electrics and ABS/EBS spiral lines.
Modul E-Drive electric landing gear
With the electric landing gear Modul E-Drive, manual cranking is redundant, while trailer coupling and decoupling is simplified, creating new levels of convenience, workplace safety and efficiency.
With one push of a button on the Modul E-Drive, the drive shuts down automatically in the event of ground contact. Manual operation is still possible.
Potential differences in height between the truck and the trailer can be compensated using the vehicle’s pneumatic suspension or manual cranking in the low gear. The landing gear is suitable for outside temperatures up to -20°C.
The landing gear is based on JOST’s highly reliable Modul B series and is available in various mounting heights. The drive is positioned on the inside and maintenance-free, and due to the long-term lubrication applied in the factory, re-lubrication is only necessary after three years. The Modul E-Drive is also a component of the JOST KKS automatic coupling system.
JOST King Pin Finder
JOST’s King Pin Finder is a camera integrated in the fifth wheel coupling that supports the coupling process by sending optimum images to the dashboard in the driver’s cabin. By aiding the coupling process, the King Pin Finder enhances driver safety and convenience as it allows the driver to find the ideal coupling height and to manoeuvre the truck perfectly, while reversing. The system’s intuitive handling assists drivers when changing trailers, reducing departure control times and preventing accidents and damage to the fifth wheel coupling, king pin and the truck and trailer.
#JOSTGREEN – Making commercial vehicles more environmentally friendly
LubeTronic 1Point refillable cartridge
JOST’s second generation LubeTronic 1Point has been upgraded by using with the biodegradable JOST high-performance lubricant, similar to the LubeTronic 5Point.
JOST has also optimised the product design in terms of sustainability and user-friendliness – a common feature for all its products. The cartridge is also exchangeable, providing a cost-effective solution as it reduces waste during its life cycle.
DCA WEIGHTMASTER PLUS axle
Reducing emissions, protecting resources and maximising efficiency were the key aims when developing the lightest axle in its class. The optimised structure of the entire axle reduces the trio weight by 51 kg. In combination with the optional Weight Optimiser 27, further weight savings of 27 kg are possible, as the air bellows support with a lightweight aluminium tail end structure.
The highlight of DCA WEIGHTMASTER PLUS is its wheel head with optimised weight, wear properties and performance. This includes the new DCA X7 brake, the lightest brake in its segment. The goal of this new axle was to achieve the ideal interplay between the brake disc and lining, thereby reducing emissions while maximising the payload and performance.
JOST has ensured the PLUS series of DCA axles offers benefits for all trailer applications, not limited to just the WEIGHTMASTER series. The new features will also be available for DCA AIRMASTER, DCA STEER-MASTER, DCA PAVEMASTER, DCA MEGAMASTER and DCA RAILMASTER.
JOST Modul landing gears
The flexible, modular and easy-to-use design of JOST landing gears ensures they can adapt to all customer requirements, from standard implementations to specialised applications. JOST will showcase several highlights from its Modul family of landing gears, such as the Modul CA, a particularly light aluminium landing gear with new S-foot, resulting in a weight saving of 41 kg compared to Modul B. The newest and lightest member of the landing gear family, the powerful aluminium drop leg FA027, with a total weight of just 37 kg per set, will also be showcased.
RO*RS CM75 Rear Tail System
The RO*RS CM75 Rear Tail System is ROCKINGER’s holistic, commercial vehicle safety solution for the Scandinavian market. The system, homologated according to ECE, consists of the RO*CM75N cross-member, the SPUB side plates and the rigid RO*RUB75 underrun bar.
The JOST World stand will be located in Hall L9370 of Transport Herning 2025.
