WABCO Showcases Industry-Leading Technologies at Comtrans 2015 International Exhibition in Moscow; Highlights Latest Innovations for Commercial Vehicle Safety and Efficiency
(firmenpresse) - BRUSSELS, BELGIUM and MOSCOW, RUSSIA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/27/15 -- WABCO (NYSE: WBC) (), a leading innovator and global supplier of technologies that improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicles, will showcase its most advanced technologies at Comtrans 2015.
WABCO will feature numerous leading safety and efficiency technologies from its portfolio of "industry firsts" and major innovations at Comtrans 2015, one of the industry's largest commercial vehicle auto exhibitions, to be held from September 8 to 12 in Moscow, Russia.
WABCO will showcase its industry-leading MAXX™ air disc brakes (ADB) - the industry's lightest and highest performing single-piston ADB for commercial vehicles. Superbly engineered and compactly designed, WABCO's MAXX air disc brake technology fits any wheel size from 17.5 to 22.5 inches across light-, medium- and heavy-duty applications for trucks, buses and trailers. As a result, WABCO's game-changing MAXX braking technology fits virtually every wheel size of commercial vehicles around the globe.
"We are delighted to announce that GAZ Group, a long-time customer and Russia's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles, will adopt WABCO's industry-leading MAXX™ single-piston air disc brakes on new truck platforms," said Dmitri Medvedev, WABCO Business Leader, Russia and CIS. "This additional major supply agreement with GAZ Group helps to improve the safety and efficiency performance of their next generation of trucks as we continue to increase WABCO content per vehicle."
"At Comtrans 2015, we will demonstrate how WABCO's technology and market leadership will further help commercial vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators to improve the safety and efficiency of trucks, buses and trailers in Russia, within neighboring key markets and across the globe," said Medvedev.
As of January 1, 2016, electronic stability control (ESC) becomes mandatory in Russia for newly produced trucks, buses and trailers. At Comtrans 2015, WABCO will also showcase its ESCsmart™ technology, which improves the vehicle's directional stability and helps to protect against roll-over and skidding - and in tractor-trailer combinations - it reduces the risk of jackknifing. WABCO's ESCsmart automatically intervenes and immediately adapts to factors that affect vehicle stability such as changes to load conditions. Vehicle manufacturers also benefit from ESCsmart as it eases vehicle assembly and increases end-of-line production efficiency for new vehicle types, which means faster time-to-market.
Other differentiating WABCO products and systems on display will include:
Headquartered in Moscow, WABCO Russia has a factory in Miass and a distribution center in the Moscow region, supplying makers of trucks, trailers and buses, as well as aftermarket customers. WABCO has been serving markets within the CIS for more than 40 years. WABCO Russia alone has five sales offices, 25 dealers, more than 160 authorized shops and more than 170 Service Partners across the country.
