WABCO Holdings Inc. has signed a long-term agreement to develop and supply innovative air suspension technology for one of the world's largest manufacturers of premium passenger cars, based in Europe.

Under this latest 10-year agreement, WABCO will develop and deliver an innovative air supply module along with control software to operate a range of air suspension system configurations for one of the manufacturer's high-volume global premium passenger car platforms.

Air suspension is now a standard feature on most of the manufacturer's electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, so WABCO will support a 30% increase in air suspension production volumes compared to the manufacturer's preceding car platform. Further enhancing driving comfort and improved vehicle safety, air suspension systems automatically adjust the vehicle to the optimum ride height, independent of the vehicle's load. This is particularly important for electric vehicles to ensure sufficient ground clearance levels are maintained to protect their batteries.
