TRW FAWER Automobile Safety Systems, TRW’s Changchun joint venture with the FAW Group, supplies steering wheels, driver-side airbag modules and side-impact airbag modules. Active safety components for this model such as rear brake calipers and brake boosters are supplied from TRW Lucas Varity Langzhong Brake in Langfang.
The production contract builds on a long-standing partnership between TRW and FAW. TFASS has undergone significant expansion of its product portfolio since its establishment in 1997. Earlier this year, TRW began production of safety systems and components for the Audi A6, to which TFASS also supplies steering wheels and driver-side and curtain airbag modules.
