WABCO, a leading global supplier of technologies and services that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, will demonstrate the high performance of its industry-leading technologies on the race track.
For the thid year in a row, WABCO will serve as the Braking Technology Partner for Tata Motors’ T1 PRIMA Racing Championship 2016 at the Buddh International Formula 1 Circuit in Greater Noida, India.
WABCO will again provide all competing race teams and their twelve, state-of-the-art Tata Motors’ PRIMA Model 4038.S trucks with a range of innovative safety and efficiency technologies. The 2016 Championship features race trucks that are lighter, accelerate faster, and reach a higher top speed of 130 kilometres per hour (more than 80 miles per hour) compared to last year’s event.
Tata Motors equips its PRIMA race trucks as well as production trucks with WABCO’s industry-leading braking systems to optimize the vehicles’ safety and stability performance on the race track -and on India’s roads in everyday traffic. In October 2015, the Indian government mandated medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles to be equipped with Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS).
“We are thrilled to demonstrate industry-leading safety and efficiency technologies at Tata Motors’ world-class truck racing Championship,” said Mr Jacques Esculier, WABCO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“We are honored that Tata Motors, a leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles, equips its PRIMA trucks and other state-of-the-art vehicles with WABCO products and systems.”
“As India continues to upgrade the safety and efficiency technologies on trucks and buses, WABCO is there to support OEMS and fleet operatos with industry-leading technologies and technical services,” said Mr P Kaniappan, Vice President, WABCO India.
“Furthermore we are proud to serve commercial vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators in India through WABCO’s local product development, advanced engineering and world-class manufacturing capabilities.”
