WABCO’s portfolio of aftermarket lifecycle solutions, including WABCO original parts, remanufactured solutions and ProVia quality aftermarket products currently distributed by Meritor, include electronic stability control systems and components; hydraulic and pneumatic tractor and trailer anti-lock braking system components; WABCO OnGuard and OnLane ADAS systems; electronically controlled air suspension systems and parts; air dryers and cartridges, including System Saver and ProVia series; air compressors; and other items.
The company expects to begin directly distributing these products to OE service providers and aftermarket distributors in March.
