ProductWhy Retrosystem?

ü A vehicle with a Retrosystem steering system has a highervalue

ü From now on, you can benefit from all the advantages of the self steering axle (up until been realized only in forward) evenin reverse & manouvring !

ü Increase the agility & manoeuvrability of the vehicle when

reversing & reduce operational time & wear (mechanical & tyre).

ü The vehicle can reach places that were previously inaccessible

the best driving behavior in manouvring reduces:

• tire's wear

• fuel consumption• mechanical wear

• driver effort in maneuvering (higher confort)• driver time in maneuvering

At an annual mileage of 100 000 km it is possible a saving of:

ü about 1 000 diesel litersü 4 tyres equivalent due to the reduced wearü 50% of the manouvring time!

Thanks to self steering axle & Retrosystem

Save fuel up to 10.000 lit!

ü The self-steering axle guarantees trailers and semitrailers a much better driving performance, which also reflectspositively on fuel consumption. Considering a mileage of 1 million km, the self-steering axle will save you up to 10,000 liters of diesel. With a price of € 1.20 per liter, hereis a saving of € 12,000 for each articulated vehicle

Driving optimization

ü The exceptional characteristics of the self-steering axle are useful again especially when great maneuverability and flexibility are required - for example in local and distributiontraffic. In these conditions the excellent self-steeringbehavior is far superior to the traditional fixed axle. Result: exact maneuvers, less damage from bumps, more safety and stress-free handling of the tractor and semi-trailer, less time lost in maneuvering

Riducete le spese per i pneumatici fino a 14.000€Reduce the tyre expenses up to 14.000€.

The self-steering allows the tires to reach a much higher mileage, with shorter stopping times for changingtires. Our long-term study shows that with a mileage of 1 million km you can save around 40 tires, and considering a price of around € 350 per tire for a total savings of € 14,000. Furthermore, the self-steeringaxle ensures that all tires wear uniformly.

• Every truck/trailer combination turns, an angle has beencreated

• The Retrosystem ECU is able to read this angle & evaluate the correct steering angle to apply

• The Retrosystem ECU is commanding the Retrosystem HPU to give the correct pressure signal to the command cylinder

• The command cylinder on the axle steers the self steer axle tillthe sensor 3 indicates the correct steering angle accordingwith the ECU

• The truck/trailer combination steers

Retrosystem – how does it workThe working of Retrosystem


Retrosystem; whats does it offer?

• It is a steering assistance for self steer axles

• This assistance can help in manouvring for a improved range of loading & unloading situations without lock in a fixed position the self steer axle

• Possibility to reach location saving manouvring time

• No loss of payload (40kg) in comparison with the hudreds of the mechanical system

• Fully integrated solution on BPW axles, but all self steer axlebrands can be retrofitted

• Temperature Range between +80°C & - 30°C

• ECE10 & ECE79 certified

• For 1 or more commanded self steering axles

• No kingpin sensor; No mechanical system!

• Competitive Prize

Retrosystem benefit

• Performances: reduce loading & unloading time

• Manoevrability: use the self steer axle also in reverse

• Steering feeling; the steering performances are notdepending from the ground conditions

• Prize; competitive prize

• Retrofitability: Retrosystem can be mounted later on allself steer axles

DescriptionRetrosystem is a device with no connection to the tractor (just power), that control the steering of ONE or MORE self steering axle (s) of the semitrailer (trailer) in order to MINIMIZE the STEERING FORCES as well of WEAR, FRICTION.

Advantages• Few time in manouvring, saving more then 50%* time in doing a correct

operation in reverse; the vehicle turns smoothly in little space• Few tyre’s wear, saving more then 40%* of the tyres consumption

• Few fuel consumption, due to time saving & lower forces & wear, saving about15%* fuel

• Few additional weigh to the trailer, about 40kg*• Fully automatc, the driver just insert the reverse & drive• The turning radius in reverse is the same of the one in forward• Remote control available (moving the axles even with the vehicle stopped)• No specific preparation of the trailer; the system can be fitted on all the

combinations of trailer/semitrailer/axles

Technical data24V DC; max power in operation between 1000X-2500W; stand by 0,5W; IP67

Certifications• UNECE 10• UNECE79 for the applicable points

Setup of the systemThe system is AUTOCALIBRATED Test can be done by an internet connection by Retrosystem

Customer careAll the diagnostic on the system could be done by a software with an internet connection linking a PC to the vehicle

MaintenanceNo specific maintenance is needed
