POLICIES
BENDIX CORE PROGRAM HANDBOOK
UPGRADE/CHANGEOVER COMPETITIVE CORES
Bendix will allow upgrade/changeovers on selected models within the Bendix product line. This
program is intended for valid upgrades/changeovers and will be subject to audit by Bendix at any
time. Upgrade/changeovers are limited to 10% of the previous year’s net reman unit purchases
of the upgrade device.
In addition, Bendix will allow select product cores from Bendix competitors ("Competitive Core")
to be returned to offset brake core obligations. Acceptable competitive cores are identifi ed in the
pictorial examples under the section titled Upgrade/Changeover/Competitive cores. Only these
cores will be accepted for core credit. Also, devices that have an acceptable competitive core
are identifi ed on core return memo (BW693). Competitive core returns will be limited to 10% of
the previous year net reman unit purchases of the air brake device being returned against.
For those who are found in violation of the tenets of this program, or exceed their 10%
maximum upgrade/changeover or competitive core return limit on any particular device,
Bendix reserves the right to:
A) return the cores ship collect or
B) give a reduced value for the cores in violation of the program, as solely determined by
Bendix.
Changeover cores must be tagged with a changeover identifi cation tag BW1829.
