"Further enhancing the safety, efficiency and market competitiveness of Hyundai Motor's new medium-duty trucks, I am pleased that we are leading the way in the South Korean market by adopting WABCO's high-performance air-disc brakes as a standard feature," said Young Duk Tak, Hyundai Motor Company Executive Vice President. "This agreement further extends our long-standing relationship with WABCO. WABCO's passionate, innovative support and braking systems leadership delivers a distinct technology advantage, enabling us to further differentiate and strengthen our position in the market."

"Representing our largest ever contract in South Korea, this ground-breaking air disc brake agreement builds on the success of over two decades of working in close partnership with Hyundai Motor Company," said Sujie Yu, WABCO President, APAC and Business Leader, China. "Building on WABCO‘s strategy of technology leadership, globalization and excellence in execution, we are successfully leveraging WABCO‘s localized engineering capability, market intimacy and cost-competitive supply chain across the region to deliver affordable technologies, customized solutions and differentiating value for local original equipment manufacturers."
