TOWING SAFETY GAME CHANGER

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.
