In North America, U.S. and Canadian transportation authorities clarified that heavy-duty semi-trailers over 11.79 tons registered from July 2026 must be equipped with EBS systems compulsorily, and in-service vehicles need retrofitting before the January 2027 annual inspection, expected to spur over 1.2 million sets of retrofitting demand and bring incremental opportunities for leading enterprises like WABCO and Knorr-Bremse. Canada's International launched parts promotions simultaneously: from January 1 to March 31, semi-trailer compatible parts including air springs and bumpers enjoy discounts up to $150.
