WABCO (WBC) Signs Contract to Supply Steering System in India

Zacks Equity Research
Updated

WABCO Holdings Inc. WBC has signed a steering system deal in India with Tata Motors Limited TTM, a global manufacturer of cars, utility vehicles, buses, trucks and defense vehicles. Per the deal, WABCO will supply its hydraulic power steering systems to meet Tata Motors’ performance and reliability requirements for manufacturing new heavy-duty trucks.

This marks the first major deal in India after WABCO acquired the U.S.-based supplier of steering technologies, R.H. Sheppard in September 2017. Further, the latest agreement is in sync with WABCO’s commitment to expand and offer its technology portfolio to customers outside the United States. The contract with Tata Motors corresponds to a significant milestone in providing steering solutions to global customers.

The company will supply M110 heavy-duty hydraulic power steering gears and assemblies, enabling Tata Motors to cater to the rising demand for new heavy-duty trucks after the changes in legislation to limit axle weight loads. Since 1986, WABCO’s M-Series gears have been meeting industry standards by using top-quality materials and components.
