WABCO Holdings Inc. announced that it will acquire, through termination of an existing exclusive distribution agreement, full distribution rights for its complete aftermarket product portfolio, including WABCO-branded ABS technologies, stability control, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), air systems and other replacement products previously distributed by Meritor, Inc.
As a result of the agreement, the entire WABCO North American aftermarket product line, as well as all related sales, distribution, customer service and technical support, will be provided directly by WABCO in North America, the company says.
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.
