WABCO India Ltd along with Tata Motors Ltd launched  Electronic Stability Control (ESCsmart) for trucks and buses at WABCO INDIA's test track in Chennai. Tata Motors becomes the first OEM to deploy ESCsmart for the Prima range, helping prevent accidents by increasing vehicle stability and safety.

Jacques Esculier, WABCO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, introduced the technology to key Government officials, fleet customers and the media. ESCsmart was showcased at WABCO's test track through a demonstration of special maneuvers conducted by WABCO on Tata trucks equipped with the technology.

WABCO's ESCsmart functionality builds on WABCO's industry-leading Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Braking System (EBS) platforms. It is an active safety system that monitors the roll and directional stability of vehicles. The system can automatically intervene, independent of the driver, when a high risk of instability is detected, thus helping to reduce the likelihood of accidents particularly associated with rollover, skidding and jackknifing.

Speaking of the launch of ESCsmart Esculier said, "WABCO is a global leader in innovating technologies that contribute to safer and more efficient road transportation of people and goods. Following pioneering the introduction of ABS for commercial vehicles in India, WABCO is extremely proud to now launch ESCsmart and to play a key role in further helping to support the Government of India's vision to reduce road accidents."
