WABCO, a global supplier of technologies and services for the safety, efficiency, and connectivity of commercial vehicles, announced that it has entered into a new long-term agreement with a major global manufacturer of trucks and buses, which is headquartered in Europe.
WABCO will supply the customers vehicle brands with its breakthrough modular braking system platform (mBSP). This major contract represents WABCOs single largest order ever for supply of mBSP technology.
Introduced in 2014, WABCOs mBSP enables vehicle makers to flexibly equip their global truck and bus platforms with either anti-lock braking (ABS) or electronic braking systems (EBS) anywhere in the world. By avoiding different braking configurations, WABCOs mBSP saves development time, reduces design overhead and lowers production costs for original equipment manufacturers.
Jorge Solis, WABCO president, Truck, Bus and Car Original Equipment Manufacturers division, said: Modularity strongly differentiates WABCOs mBSP as a game-changing braking system platform for original equipment manufacturers, particularly by delivering high levels of flexibility and scalability to support their global strategies. WABCOs technology leadership enables our customers to develop and produce diverse models on the same vehicle platform and to bring new trucks and buses to market faster.
WABCO now counts four global original equipment manufacturers as customers for its industry-leading mBSP technology, which also provides integration of a vehicle makers own intelligent software and added system functionalities.
