PORTLAND, Ore. — Wabco has announced it has struck an agreement with Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) to supply its single-piston air disc brakes.

Under the deal, Wabco will supply its Maxxus air disc brake technology for series production on Daimler trucks in North America beginning in July.

Wabco says its Maxxus brake technology provides the lightest, highest-performing single-piston disc brake available in the North American commercial vehicle industry. It reduces overall weight and improves fuel efficiency while offering increased payload, the company claims.

“We are proud to supply Daimler Trucks North America with Wabco’s Maxxus air disc brakes, a new game-changing generation of high performance, low weight braking technology that increases vehicle safety and efficiency,” said Nikhil Varty, Wabco president, Americas. “Maxxus is yet another mark of Wabco’s technology leadership as we further demonstrate our commitment to North America’s commercial vehicle industry.”
