WABCO's Jinan South Base officially put into production AMT gradually accepted

On March 16, 2011, WABCO's automotive control system was officially put into production at the Six Sigma Lean Production Base in Jinan, Shandong. It is reported that the WABCO Jinan plant occupies an area of ​​11,000 square meters and employs 350 people. The production includes air compressors, air handling units, automatic transmission control systems AMT, valves and other product lines.

WABCO China's cooperation is accelerating

Previously, WABCO has already owned two companies in Jinan and Qingdao in China to produce brakes and control system products for commercial vehicles. According to Yu Sujie, general manager of WABCO's China operations, "more than 1.4 million AMT control systems have been used on trucks and buses around the world. The prospects for R&D specifically targeting the Chinese market are even more optimistic."

At the end of 2008, WABCO announced the signing of a letter of intent with Guangdong Fuhua Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to establish a joint venture in China to produce gas brake disc brakes. WABCO and Fuhua have 70% and 30 joint ventures respectively. % of the equity, invested 8 million US dollars. Fuhua is currently the world's largest manufacturer of commercial trailer axles.

In March 2009, WABCO announced that it has signed a strategic supply agreement with China's largest heavy truck manufacturer, China National Heavy Truck Group Co., Ltd. The strategic agreement between WABCO and China National Heavy Duty Truck expands to 2016, and cumulative sales will reach several hundred million US dollars.

It is understood that WABCO has become a supplier to China National Heavy Duty Truck in 1997. It will continue to supply air management products, anti-lock brakes and other braking systems and transmission control systems. The agreement further enhances the cooperation between the two parties. Before 2016, WABCO will be the exclusive supplier of China National Heavy Duty Truck Automatic Transmission (AMT) system. Sinotruk is the first OEM in the world to use WABCO's advanced modular AMT system in batches. The development of AMT in China is also being accepted and accepted by users, but this process has to continue.

It takes time for the market to accept AMT

“AMT is experiencing a slow climb. We have visited a lot of end users personally. They think that AMT's fuel economy is a major highlight. The operation is also very comfortable. This is also the most direct experience for users.” General Manager, WABCO China Yu Sujie said that taking the European market as an example, since the first AMT heavy truck was put into use in 1986, the loading rate of ATM has reached more than 50%. It has been more than 20 years, so it cannot be expected in China overnight. To achieve a high loading rate, this requires a certain process. AMT must be used in conjunction with electronically controlled engines. In addition, AMT and engine and vehicle matching need to do a lot of experiments. It should be said that R&D and matching time will also limit the rapid increase in the loading rate, but the direction of development is very clear.

“There is a series of comparative experiments conducted by a European agency because AMT has different modes depending on the operating conditions. There are P mode, E mode, and climbing mode. The usage mode is different, and the fuel economy effect is not the same. On average, 3% fuel economy is no problem. Outstanding fuel economy is the advantage of WABCO AMT." Yu Sujie said.
