WABCO Holdings Inc. signed a contract with South Korea-based commercial vehicle manufacturer, Hyundai Motor Company. Per the long-term agreement, WABCO will supply its single-piston air disc brake (ADB) technology, MAXX, for the manufacturing of Hyundai’s new medium-duty trucks, which are expected to start from August 2019.
Using the ADB technology on axles as standard for medium-duty trucks will position Hyundai as the first producer in the South Korean market to adopt the technology. Featured with a new customized brake pad solution, MAXX ADB will decrease the brake noise in Hyundai's new series of medium-duty trucks.
Per management, the contract is in sync with WABCO’s strategy of technology leadership, global expansion and execution excellence. The company is leveraging its local engineering capability, cost-competitive supply chain and market closeness, enabling it to supply inexpensive technologies and customized solutions to local original equipment manufacturers.
