Infinity-Test USA, distributor of EWJ Teknik A/S in the United States has won a
contract with the State of Tennessee to provide them with their first PBBT
(Performance Based Brake Tester). The order value for EWJ is between 300-400
KSEK for one unit and it is the first result after a 2 year work to get the unit
certified in the USA. New legislation may create an extensive market in USA for
this product within the next years.
The installation should take place in July 2007 at the Greenville weigh station
on highway I-81 (mile marker 21). The test station is under construction and a
100 feet long inspection pit will be added to the site.
The State of Tennessee is planning to conduct some research on the equipment in
collaboration with the National Transportation Research Centre along with use
for enforcement with the State Patrol Officers. This installation, once
completed, should receive the visit of the Governor for an official opening
ceremony.
“This breakthrough in USA is certainly a very good start and could mean more
orders in the future as the first Danish machine will soon be placed on US
ground” says Henrik Wagner Jörgensen, Managing Director of EWJ Teknik A/S.
The actual strict regulations in United States make it a long, complicated and
expensive process to achieve certification of the equipment. Infinity-Test Inc
and EWJ Teknik A/S have succeeded to get the FIRST roller brake tester to be
certified. In March 2006, after more than 2 years of work, the compliance review
has succeeded. The Certification is a must to be able to sell the equipment in
USA.
