TRW Automotive Holdings has launched production of active and passive safety systems and components from its China operations for the new Audi A6 model built at First Auto Works in Changchun.


TRW has been a long time supplier of the FAW group through its TRW FAWER Automobile Safety System Co. (TFASS), joint venture in Changchun. Established in 1997, the venture was expanded in 2004 to include the manufacture and supply of airbag modules and steering wheels.


The new Audis HAVE steering wheels and driver side and curtain airbag modules supplied from TFASS, as well as additional TRW passive safety components supplied from the Shanghai TRW Automotive Safety System (STASS) venture.


TRW active safety products are also being supplied for the newly launched A6. They include braking products from the TRW Lucas Varity Langzhong Brake Co., Ltd. (LVLB) joint venture in Langfang such as rear callipers and new products recently localised at LVLB such as actuation. Other products include TRW’s electric park brake (EPB).
