WABCO Announces Deal to Supply Hydraulic Anti-Lock Braking Technology to Agrale

WABCO Holdings Inc.

(www.wabco-auto.com), a global technology leader and tier-one supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Agrale, a major original equipment manufacturer based in Brazil and Argentina, to supply innovative hydraulic anti-lock braking (ABS) technology for Agrale's full range of light commercial vehicles that use hydraulic brakes. As of 2013, new vehicle and road safety legislation in Brazil is in effect. It mandates ABS on 40 percent of trucks, buses, trailers and passenger cars manufactured during 2013. From January 2014, all such vehicles must have ABS installed. Light duty vehicles (less than 6 tons gross weight) normally use hydraulic braking systems whereas heavier vehicles typically deploy pneumatic systems.
