Wabco has announced that it has entered into a long term agreement with Iveco to supply innovative anti-lock braking systems.
The systems will feature Wabco's breakthrough ESCsmart technology, which certifies electronic stability control for commercial vehicles, and will be initially used on the Eurocargo Euro 6 medium-duty truck, from 2013.
WABCO's ESCsmart is the commercial vehicle industry's first and most efficient technology of its kind to homologate ESC, saving significant time and labor for truck and bus manufacturers.
"This new contract with Iveco is another mark of technology leadership as we continue to contribute to Iveco's success in Europe through Wabco innovations that increase vehicle safety performance and maximize reliability," says Jean-Christophe Figueroa, Wabco vice president, vehicle control systems.
"With ESCsmart technology, Iveco can respond faster to market needs by introducing new vehicle types within significantly shorter development phases as we help optimize the total cost and effort of adopting electronic stability control," he adds.
