A Lichfield company has launched a £20,000 investment in new technology for its mobile engineers.

The new systems will allow staff from Streethay-based Bullwell Trailer Solutions Ltd to fast-track road-side diagnosis and repair.

The technology works by being able to communicate with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in both the trailer and tractor unit of a HGV. Any problems are then transmitted digitally to the computer used by the engineers and allow them to make a repair without the need of air brake specialists.

Steve Pye, engineer at Bullwell Trailer Solutions explained: “Trailers are far more complicated than people think, with many electronics involved and sophisticated systems which communicate to all areas of a HGV through the ECU.

“It is often the case that a warning light can come on but the driver of the vehicle is unable to determine the exact problem. With this latest technology however our engineers are able to pinpoint exactly what needs doing and can fix the problem there and then.

“Investing £20,000 in this latest technology is a very exciting time for the team at Bullwell, ensuring that through continuous improvement we keep up to date with all the latest technology, staying ahead of the competition and delivering the highest quality service to our customers.”
