Z.TEC nospray : Le'ts put an end to water spray on the road!

Rain on the road creates a dangerous driving environment

Outdated technology for insufficient results

Low visibility is compounded by poor road grip. As well as increasing braking distances, you brake later. Mudgard technology dates back to a time when wheels were narrow and spun half as fast as they do today. Most of the water ejected passes under the protection and is sprayed into the air.

A 4-axle truck can lift 1 tonne of water per second.

Z.TEC nospray, designed by ZEID

The cost-controlled solution, adaptable to any type of vehicle, whether powered or towed, with single or twin wheels.

To absorb the water jet, you need a device that is flush with the ground and as close as possible to the base of the wheel. Brushes have the advantage of fulfilling this function without damage.

Their composition in three successive curtains absorbs the kinetic energy of the jet, which can settle on the ground.

But this device is only useful when vehicle speed exceeds 15km/h.

A simple balanced mechanism has therefore been designed to raise the brushes when the vehicle is manoeuvring or stationary.

This ultra-compact design makes it possible to adapt the device to all types of wheels, even those with the smallest footprint.

Z.TEC nospray : système de brosses 3D rétractables

Retractable 3D brushes


  • Brushes shave the floor without damage
  • x3 successive brushes absorb jet's kinetic energy
  • Brushes extend in width to sweep away lateral splashes
  • Water is captured before it disperses

Z.TEC nospray : système de crémaillère

Patented balanced lifting mechanism


  • Pneumatic actuation
  • The system is at rest when the vehicle is moving
  • Pinion synchronization prevents skewing
  • The system is insensitive to weather conditions
  • Mechanism height is independent of brush width

Technical informations

Simple,reliable assembly

Z.TEC nospray is a cartridge comprising a mechanism and three brushes

This cartridge can be mounted on the axle body for most vehicles, or on the chassis for certain applications such as low-loaders. Axle-body mounting is the most widely used, allowing standardization and removing any positioning difficulties for the chassis manufacturer.
