Software update
Software is playing an increasingly crucial role in the operation of vehicles and road safety. As a result, UNECE regulations concerning software updates have been established. These regulations include a series of provisions such as R156 and R155 for cyber security management systems.
Request to update software
The UNECE regulations for software updates impact on the design, production and use phases of vehicles. Software must be applied in the correct way and within the legally defined parameters.
As the manufacturer, Knapen Trailers remains responsible for the software used throughout the entire lifecycle of the trailer. This means that on all trailers registered from 01.07.2024, software updates and parameter modifications may only be implemented with the prior approval of Knapen Trailers. This concerns systems including the brakes, lifting axles, air suspension, tyre pressure system, lighting, pull-back bumper, radiographic remote control and steering.
We will assess whether the requested update is within the relevant vehicle type approval. As the manufacturer, we safeguard the quality and correctness of the update using the Software Update Management System (SUMS).
