WABCO Supplies Breakthrough Technology in Air Compression to Another Leading Global Manufacturer of Commercial Vehicles
(firmenpresse) - BRUSSELS, BELGIUM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/16/11 -- WABCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE: WBC) (), a global technology leader and tier-one supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, will supply its breakthrough c-comp™ clutchable air compression technology to another leading global manufacturer of commercial vehicles headquartered in Europe.
Series production in Europe is expected to begin by the end of 2012 to equip WABCO's c-comp air compressor on this major customer's heavy duty truck and bus engines that will meet upcoming EURO VI emission standards.
WABCO's breakthrough c-comp air compressor optimally disengages a truck or bus compressor from the engine when the vehicle's air pressure reaches full pressure. As a result, it allows fuel savings up to 264 gallons (1,000 liters) on long haul applications annually while reducing the vehicle's carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 5,700 pounds (2,600 kilograms).
"This new agreement marks yet another series adoption of WABCO's industry-leading air compression technology as we continue to innovate solutions to meet rising standards for vehicle efficiency and environmental sustainability," said Nikhil Varty, WABCO Vice President, Compression and Braking. "Our breakthrough c-comp air compressors continue to demonstrate WABCO's technology leadership through outstanding vehicle operating economy and fewer emissions as we help global manufacturers to provide cleaner, greener heavy duty trucks and buses."
