Wabco has announced details of the first supplier deal for its NG22MAX air disc brakes, with MAN's European trucks.
The single-piston NG22MAX is compact and, at 39kg, is the lightest air disc brake of its kind, according to Wabco.
Nikhil Varty, Wabco vice president, compression and braking, makes the point that this light weighting allows trucks to increase payload and improve fuel economy.
Hew also says that the new air disc brake reduces maintenance and service costs, due to increased brake pad thickness and exchangeable wear sensors.
"This major contract with MAN is another mark of Wabco's technology leadership, as we expand our breakthrough single-piston air disc braking technology into heavy duty truck applications," says Varty.
"We are proud to further grow our partnership with MAN as we provide them with more choice to satisfy their needs in heavy duty vehicles," he adds.
