Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems will host air brake training classes in Ohio and Kentucky in November and online in December for commercial vehicle operations eager to bolster their product knowledge.
“Technicians operate in a fast-changing commercial vehicle landscape, where safety components advance rapidly,” says Nicole Oreskovic, Bendix vice president of sales and marketing. “Carriers are under intense pressure to maintain overall safety, performance, and uptime. At the same time, they strive to lower their total cost of ownership. It’s in this environment that Bendix maintains its decades-long dedication to providing comprehensive, convenient training.”
Oreskovic adds, “Among the unique aspects of the company’s in-person training schools are the air boards used for instruction. The Bendix air system boards, in particular, feature a working Bendix Wingman Fusion system to help students receive a robust overview of the company’s collision mitigation technology, along with other critical parts of the Bendix air braking system.”
The Ohio courses will be held at Bendix's headquarters in Avon, Ohio, on Nov. 11-13. The Kentucky classes will be held in Bowling Green on Nov. 18-20, with the online course available Dec. 9-11.
Bendix’s three-day Air Brake Training class is tailored to both new and experienced technicians. It covers the description, operation, troubleshooting and service elements for the total range of components found within dual air brake systems. Bendix says classroom topics include the fundamentals of compressed air; tactics for air system failure mode diagnosis and troubleshooting; and air brake system and foundation brake components, including air compressors, valves, foundation drum brakes, and air disc brakes.
