Tow Assist is a collaborative effort between AL-KO and Bosch. These two companies are a strong match to bring this product to market. AL-KO is the leading running gear supplier to the Australian caravan industry and Bosch is synonymous with automotive safety systems.
Tow Assist has two key functions, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ESC (Electronic Stability Control). ABS and ESC are not new ideas. They have been available in cars for many years. In fact, Bosch helped pioneer ABS in cars in the 1970s. There are also a number of ESC systems available for caravans now. Craig tells us what makes Tow Assist special is that it’s the world’s first caravan braking system with ABS and sway mitigation (AL-KO’s name for ESC).
“The control Tow Assist gives the driver is unlike any ESC I’ve seen and a real game-changer”
