Who Is Bendix?

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems is a leading manufacturer of safety and braking technologies for commercial vehicles, with roots dating back to 1869. 
Now part of the global Knorr-Bremse Group, Bendix is known for innovation in:

• Air brake systems
• Stability control systems
• Driver assistance technologies
• Air management solutions

Today, Bendix is considered a global leader in heavy-duty truck safety systems, helping fleets improve uptime, compliance, and driver safety. 

Bendix Brakes and Wheel-End Parts

Bendix is known for its complete braking solutions, including:

• Air disc brakes and drum brakes
• Brake pads, rotors, and calipers
• Slack adjusters and foundation brake components

Their braking systems are designed to deliver:

• Shorter stopping distances
• Reduced brake fade
• Longer service life

These components are critical at the wheel-end, where braking force is applied directly to the vehicle.

Bendix Collision Mitigation System

Bendix offers advanced collision mitigation through systems like Bendix Wingman® Advanced™, which:

• Detects vehicles ahead using radar
• Provides driver alerts
• Applies brakes automatically if needed

These systems can help reduce or prevent rear-end collisions, improving both safety and liability exposure. 

Are Bendix Parts Made in the USA?

Many Bendix products are manufactured or assembled in the United States, with major operations based in Ohio.
However, as part of a global company (Knorr-Bremse), Bendix also utilizes international manufacturing and supply chains to meet demand and maintain quality standards.

Bendix Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Bendix is a pioneer in ADAS technology for commercial trucks, particularly with its Bendix Fusion™ platform.
Key features include:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane departure warning
• Autonomous emergency braking
• Pedestrian detection (on newer systems)

Fusion integrates radar, camera, and braking systems into one platform to enhance driver awareness and response. 

Bendix Air Supply and Air Management Systems

Air is the backbone of heavy-duty braking systems—and Bendix offers a wide-variety of products including:

• Air compressors
• Air dryers
• Valves and reservoirs

These systems:

• Ensure clean, dry air supply
• Prevent corrosion and freezing
• Improve brake system reliability

Proper air management is essential for consistent braking performance and reduced maintenance costs. 

Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

Bendix helped bring ABS technology to the commercial vehicle market and continues to produce advanced stability systems.
ABS (Antilock Braking System)

• Prevents wheel lockup during braking
• Maintains steering control

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

• Helps prevent rollovers and loss-of-control events
• Applies braking across multiple wheels automatically

Bendix ESP® is a full-stability system capable of detecting understeer, oversteer, and low-traction conditions. 

Bendix Trailer Solutions

Bendix doesn’t just support tractors—they also offer comprehensive trailer solutions, including:

• Trailer ABS systems
• Air disc brakes for trailers
• Roll stability and control systems

These solutions help ensure balanced braking and stability across the entire combination vehicle.

Does Bendix Offer Training?

Yes—Bendix offers comprehensive training programs, including:

• Online training modules
• In-person technical classes
• Certification programs

These programs help technicians and fleets:

• Improve diagnostics
• Reduce downtime

Training is a major part of Bendix’s commitment to fleet safety and performance.

Do Bendix Parts Have a Warranty?
