TROY, MI — ArvinMeritor and Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems have unveiled their new Premium Hydraulic Braking System for medium-duty truck and bus applications. Meritor WABCO is a joint venture of ArvinMeritor and the WABCO Automotive Products Group of American Standard Companies Inc.
The package includes Meritor WABCO’s Hydraulic Power Brake (HPB) — the next-generation of its hydraulic actuation and anti-lock braking system (ABS) — and the Meritor Quadraulic hydraulic disc brake. The package is available immediately for North American original equipment manufacturers’ vehicles.
According to the two companies, HPB and Quadraulic disc brake offer numerous benefits over current systems on the market today. The company said drivers will appreciate pedal “feel” similar to that of a passenger car, while fleets and owner-operators will benefit from longer lining life, fewer aftermarket parts and single-source shopping.
“The new HPB system offers significant advancements. It incorporates many industry-first features that will positively impact motor carriers’ vehicle performance,” said Denny Sandberg, president and general manager of Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems. “Together, the HPB and Quadraulic disc brakes achieve unrivaled stopping performance, providing motor carriers’ added safety to vehicle operators.”
