WABCO Launches Industry-First Modular Braking System

| July 17, 2014

WABCOWABCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE: WBC), a global technology leader and tier-one supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, has launched its industry-first modular braking system platform (mBSP).

The company also announced that it has already won major awards for this technology from two global commercial vehicle manufacturers headquartered in Europe.

WABCO’s architecture now enables its customers to interchangeably equip their diverse global truck and bus platforms with anti-lock braking (ABS) or electronic braking (EBS) systems based on regional market or regulatory requirements worldwide.

WABCO mBSP reduces the number of ABS components by 50 percent to the same amount of components as in EBS.

By leveraging the advantages of WABCO’s mBSP system, vehicle manufacturers can, the company noted, “significantly reduce system development, installation and software testing time, accelerate homologation for their diverse brands and vehicle portfolios globally, and bring new trucks and buses to market faster.”
