WABCO Holdings Inc. has announced recently 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 customer’s vehicle brands with its breakthrough modular braking system platform (mBSP™). This major contract represents its single largest order ever for supply of mBSP technology.
Introduced in 2014 as an industry-first technological breakthrough, WABCO’s 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, WABCO’s mBSP saves development time, reduces design overhead and lowers production costs for original equipment manufacturers.
“Modularity strongly differentiates WABCO’s mBSP as a game-changing braking system platform for OEMs, particularly by delivering high levels of flexibility and scalability to support their global strategies. WABCO’s 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” said Jorge Solis, WABCO President, Truck, Bus and Car Original Equipment Manufacturers Division.
WABCO now counts four global OEMs as customers for its industry-leading mBSP technology, which also provides seamless integration of a vehicle maker’s own intelligent software and added system functionalities.
