Expands engineering capabilities to deliver next generation innovations

WABCO Holdings Inc. has officially opened its new state-of-the-art Global Technology and Innovation Center in Hanover, Germany. Significantly expanding WABCO's global product development and engineering capabilities, the nearly $30 million facility will play an important role in ensuring WABCO's technology leadership is sustained through future generations of innovation. This includes developing pioneering technologies to support the industry's migration towards increasingly autonomous, connected and electric commercial vehicles.

The 11,500 square meter (124,000 square feet) facility, inaugurated recently, includes contemporary workspace for over 420 employees based in Hanover, as well as visiting engineering project teams from across the world. As WABCO's largest Research and Development hub, the new Global Technology and Innovation Center will fulfil a central role within WABCO's integrated network of product development and engineering centers that now spans four continents. Specifically, it will provide center of excellence and domain expertise for WABCO's global engineering team as it collaborates to design and develop WABCO's advanced safety and efficiency systems for trucks, buses and trailers.
