JB ADOPTS NEW SAFETY TECH
JB Caravans is the first manufacturer in Australia to offer ABS and sway mitigation technology as standard equipment on upcoming models .
Developed by AL-KO in collaboration with automotive supplier Bosch , Tow Assist is world-first technology that brings automotive-style safety systems to caravans , including anti-lock braking ( ABS ), sway mitigation and a special odometer viewable on a smartphone app .
“ We ‘ re extremely pleased that JB Caravans has recognised the significance of Tow Assist by making it standard on upcoming models in their 2022 range ,” AL- KO sales and marketing general manager Ergun Kirmaci said . “ We believe this is a new era in towing safety , and a technology that will ultimately save lives . To have JB Caravans behind the technology as a market leader in offroad caravans is a big step forward in ensuring the highest possible level of safety on our roads .”
JB Caravans ’ Wayne Coleman hailed the benefits of Tow Assist for customers .
“ We felt the safety benefits of Tow Assist were too significant for us to ignore , so we are pleased to include the technology as standard fitment on some of our upcoming caravan models .”
For JB Caravans customers in the market for a new caravan , Tow Assist is now available for optional fitment to suitably configured new caravans that include AL-KO suspension .
“ The relatively low cost of fitting Tow Assist is a small price to pay to ensure safety and peace of mind for you and your family . Your insurance company may also offer a premium reduction for having Tow Assist fitted ,” Mr Kirmaci said .
