VCA approval for Axtec’s OnBoad load indicator

Axtec's OnBoard axle load indicator has received approval from the VCA (Vehicle Certification Agency), allowing it to be fitted as original equipment by commercial vehicle manufacturers.
Keith Gresham, Axtec's managing director, says: "Obtaining VCA approval ... is a huge endorsement for the product, together with the manufacturing and testing functions we have." Also known as e-marking, the VCA approval permits vehicle manufacturers to install the system without compromising their Whole Vehicle Type Approval. "Vehicle manufacturers are increasingly being asked for systems to enable their vehicles to be operated efficiently and legally, without contravening weight limits," states Gresham. "This important advance enables them to offer their customers Axtec OnBoard axle load indicators, installed at the factory."
