Wabco said it would provide braking control technology and a range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for Hino Trucks' upcoming heavy duty truck launch in North America.
The truck maker will start building its XL Series line of Class 7 and 8 trucks in early 2019 and Wabco will supply a modular braking system called mBSP to enable anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic stability control and various ADAS products. These include a collision mitigation system and lane departure warning system.
