WABCO signs supply agreement with Daimler Trucks for AMTs

WABCO Holdings, a leading global supplier of technologies and services that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, announced that Daimler Trucks has extended its long-term supply agreement with WABCO for new heavy-duty automated manual transmission (AMT) control technology to support its series production mainly in Europe, North America, Japan, and South America.

Headquartered in Germany, Daimler Trucks is the world’s largest manufacturer of trucks over six tons. Daimler has five truck brands –Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner, FUSO, Western Star and BharatBenz.

WABCO’s innovative AMT control technology transforms a manual transmission into an efficient, cost-effective solution that automatically shifts gears and controls clutch actuation for commercial vehicles. It enables drivers to focus further attention on road and traffic conditions, resulting in increased comfort and safety. It also helps to minimise any performance gap between highly skilled and less experienced drivers.
