TRW Automotive Aftermarket has secured new contracts at both original equipment (OE) and aftermarket level for its heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) TRW Proequip branded steering part, X-CAP.
The TRW-designed and manufactured tie rod end encompasses its latest steering technology, and is favoured due to its small and lightweight packaging.
TRW will supply X-CAP to Albion (Leyland Trucks), Daimler, Scania and Volvo across Europe and South America from 2013.
"X-CAP is a smaller, stronger, more durable product with a new design of dust cover for better part protection," states Dennis Christ, European HCV channel marketing manager.
"That design, combined with reduced torque for enhanced steering comfort, exceeded the requirements of a market focussed on decreasing component weight and limiting vehicle emissions."
