News from the IAA 2022 in Hannover. A groundbreaking collaboration between SIRIT and Knorr-Bremse

At the IAA Transportation 2022 trade fair in Hannover, the Italian family owned company Tosi F.lli, owner of the SIRIT brand has announced the supply of its RTC (Release Tube Concept) Quick Coupling push-in technology to Knorr-Bremse products.

Both the Trailer EBS Module (iTEBS X) and the Chassis Suspension Module (CSM) for conventional and electro-pneumatic air suspension systems, will be equipped with SIRIT RTC technology. An innovative assembly system will provide all tube connections integrated in the iTEBS X and CSM avoiding the traditional sets of fittings. The solution is the result of an accurate engineering and rigorous tests to bring a relevant advantage in terms of space and weight.

RTC push-in connectors include an environmental O-Ring protection from dust, dirt, salt and other polluting agents, offering the highest performance and safety standards. A state-of-the-art level that guarantees the best possible available push-in solution for Air Brake Systems. RTC means “Release Tube Concept”: the possibility to extract the tube from the fitting with a dedicated tool that allows flexibility during the assembly process and easy maintenance to connected devices.

Knorr-Bremse is the global market leader of braking systems and other systems for rail and commercial vehicles. For more than 115 years Knorr-Bremse has been the industry innovator, driving developments in mobility and transportation technologies.
