Tata Motors Becomes the First OEM to Deploy ESCsmart

Esculier added, "WABCO is honored and proud to partner with Tata Motors to launch ESCsmart for their Prima range of trucks. We look forward to paving the way for its further adoption in India." Alongside significantly reducing the risk of accidents associated with vehicle instability, the self-learning capabilities of ESCsmart also help vehicle manufacturers to eliminate the necessity of physically testing all variants of vehicles during homologation. This saves considerable time and labour. 

 

Dr. A.K.Jindal, Vice President & Head Engineering (CVBU),Tata Motors Ltd, said, "Safety is of paramount importance to us and the introduction of Electronic Stability Control (ESCsmart) further reiterates our commitment to strengthen the safety performance of our products and introduce future technologies, ahead of time. With this partnership, Tata Motors becomes the first OEM in India deploying ESCsmart safety technology on the Prima range. ESCsmart has been customized to incorporate more safety parameters for operation in India. We are delighted to work with class-leading global suppliers like WABCO to develop innovative and technology leading products for our Indian customers."

 

P. Kaniappan, WABCO INDIA Limited Managing Director, said, "We are excited to launch ESCsmart technology in India in partnership with Tata Motors. This is fully in line with WABCO's strategy to be the supplier of choice for products and systems that contribute to the safety of commercial vehicles. ESCsmart is the industry's first intelligent ESC system for pneumatic ABS in India."

Kaniappan added, "This technology provides comprehensive value to customers by increasing vehicle stability, reducing accident risk and repair cost, and improving vehicle uptime. By integrating ESCsmart technology, WABCO aims to support commercial vehicle manufacturers in building safer vehicles and fleet owners to operate their fleets more efficiently. ESCsmart marks the next level of technology partnership with our customers to make commercial vehicles safer for Indian roads."

WABCO pioneered Electronic Stability Control for commercial vehicles in 2001 and has continued to innovate this safety technology ever since, selling more than one million ESC systems worldwide since its introduction.

WABCO's ESCsmart is the commercial vehicle industry's first and most efficient technology to homologate ESC, saving significant time and effort for OEMs.

Features of ESCsmart system include Yaw Control and Roll Stability Control. While Yaw Control provides directional vehicle stability on low-friction surfaces, Roll Stability Control works effectively on high-friction surfaces.
