WABCO Holdings Inc. has bagged its first major steering system deal in India following its September 2017 acquisition of U.S.-based R.H. Sheppard, a key supplier of industry-leading steering technologies for commercial vehicles.

Demonstrating WABCO's strong commitment to expand and to globalize its steering business beyond the U.S., this latest supply agreement with Tata Motors in India represents an important first milestone in delivering leading steering solutions to customers internationally. 

WABCO's M110 heavy-duty hydraulic power steering gears and assemblies meet Tata Motors' power-steering performance and reliability requirements. M-Series gears have been the industry design standard since 1986 and use the highest quality materials and components manufactured to extremely rigorous tolerances.

"This landmark steering technology agreement with Tata Motors in India is another example of WABCO's powerful ability to globalize our rich technology portfolio," said Jorge Solis, WABCO President, Truck, Bus and Car OEM Division. "Further augmenting our advanced driver assistance and braking systems with our industry-leading steering capability makes WABCO uniquely placed to serve OEMs in every market."
