Wabco Holdings Inc, a leading global supplier of technologies that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, has acquired a new customer, Mahindra & Mahindra, one of India’s largest manufacturers of passenger cars and sport-utility vehicles. In a breakthrough multi-year agreement, Wabco will supply vacuum pumps across all Mahindra & Mahindra’s major engine platforms, with series production expected to begin in late 2017.
Wabco will supply this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with industry-leading compact vacuum pumps that feature modular, lightweight design and ultra-low power consumption for braking as well as non-braking functions.
