Discover Our innovative partner JOST
As we reach the midway point of the Goodyear FIA ETRC season, we take a closer look at our new partner, JOST.
A global market leader in the production of systems, components and technology for commercial vehicles, JOST is known for their cutting-edge solutions and dedication to safety. Their products, designed for safety, reliability, and ease of use have resonated well with the truck racing community.
JOST has been a prominent feature in the paddock and fan village since the start of the season and their “Truck Stop” workshops have become a favourite among visitors. These sessions are more than just demonstrations; they are interactive experiences where visitors, drivers and industry representatives can get hands-on with JOST’s products and learn how to repair and mount them.
"Our goal here is to connect with the truck driver community, the real end users who use our products daily,” said Christin Zindritsch, Marketing Communications Manager at JOST. “We want our solutions to stand out for safety, reliability and easy handling, making the tough job of a truck driver just a bit easier.”
Showcasing Cutting-Edge Technology
Among the highlights of JOST’s offerings is their automatic coupling system, the JOST KKS. This innovative system replaces the traditional, often cumbersome, coupling process with a remote-controlled, streamlined operation. The King Pin Finder, a camera integrated into the fifth wheel coupling, adds another layer of safety and precision, akin to the reverse cameras found in modern cars. This technology ensures that coupling and uncoupling semi-trailers is a straightforward and secure process.
"The King Pin Finder and our automatic coupling system make the coupling process really easy,” explains Zindritsch. “With features like remote control operation and integrated cameras, the driver doesn’t even have to get out of the truck, enhancing both safety and efficiency."
