    DaimlerChrysler Trailer Axle Systems, which has been manufacturing trailer axles at the Kassel plant since 1996, presents a revolutionary innovation at the Hanover Commercial Vehicle Show: the Airmaster trailer axle, which stores the compressed air needed for the brakes and air suspension in the axle housing. By eliminating the air vessel it offers additional installation space and a weight advantage of 30-40 kg.
