During a press conference at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week, WABCO Holdings Inc. announced enhancements to its subscription-based TOOLBOX PLUS diagnostic software, as well as expanded air dryer and cartridge offerings and genuine remanufactured air compressors.
TOOLBOX PLUS diagnostic software
WABCO’s TOOLBOX software has been enhanced to help users save time in diagnosing WABCO systems. The new version, TOOLBOX PLUS, supports the latest WABCO product releases, including Intelligent Anti-lock Braking System (iABS) for trailers, Modular Braking System Platform (mBSP) for trucks and TailGUARD reverse collision avoidance system for trucks and trailers. WABCO highlighted a new “roll call” feature that automatically identifies installed WABCO systems upon connection to the vehicle.
In addition, warranty forms are pre-populated with VIN, fault code(s) and other information to help speed the claims process, the company stated. As with the previous version, TOOLBOX PLUS offers aftermarket ECU programming capability. The new software is being offered through one-, two- and three-year subscriptions.
Expanded air dryer and cartridge offerings
WABCO now offers three ranges each of replacement air dryers and cartridges to meet the performance and cost-per-mile demands of commercial trucks at each stage of the ownership lifecycle. Available air dryers now include System Saver premium OEM; WABCO Reman Solutions; and new ProVia quality aftermarket units. The company’s air dryer cartridge offering now comprises System Saver premium OEM; new WABCO Essential mid-range; and Provia quality aftermarket cartridges.
Genuine remanufactured air compressors
The WABCO Reman Solutions product offering has been expanded to include premium remanufactured air compressors guaranteed to provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) equivalent performance in even the most demanding operating conditions. Each unit is fully disassembled, inspected, cleaned, honed, updated with new components, reassembled and tested to the latest OEM specifications, with all operations performed in the company’s facility in Rochester Hills, Mich.
