Bendix announced Wednesday it will again host its Tech Talk Series at next week’s Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Ky.
Launched in 2011, the Tech Talk Series features Bendix product and service experts offering how-to demonstrations, interactive question-and-answer sessions, and discussions of the issues and technologies shaping the commercial vehicle industry. New this year, Bendix says it will present attendees a look at the trucking industry’s pathway to an automated future, including the role that drivers will play.
The 15-minute Tech Talks, open to all show attendees, begin at 11 a.m., Thursday, March 23, and extend through the final session scheduled for 3 p.m., Friday, March 24. All scheduled Tech Talks will take place at Bendix’s booth, No. 32175, in the South Hall.
“With the industry constantly changing, from technologies to regulations, the ‘must see’ Bendix Tech Talks offer a unique forum for people throughout the trucking business – drivers and fleet operators, OEs and maintenance technicians – to discuss the topics that matter most to them,” says Barbara Gould, Bendix director of communications.
“In the short space of 15 minutes, tops, trucking professionals come away from each session with new insights and practical knowledge gained straight from the experts. Our friends in the industry can take what they learn and apply it directly to their job – whether it be in a maintenance bay, over a balance sheet, or on the road.”
Shortly after the close of the Mid-America Trucking Show, the Bendix Tech Talk sessions will also be available as a part of the growing curriculum on brake-school.com, the on-line training site from Bendix. The company says visitors will also find the sessions on the Bendix YouTube channel, at www.youtube.com/user/bendixvideos; and in Bendix’s new multimedia center at knowledge-dock.com.
