January 10, 2009 — WABCO Automotive Control Systems, the world's leading supplier of electronic automotive brake, stability, suspension and variable speed control systems, held a media meeting to explain to the media The 2009 strategic plan also demonstrated its latest development of a new generation of modular automatic mechanical transmission (AMT) control system.
Dr. Liu Liang, President of WABCO Automotive Systems Asia Pacific, introduces its modular AMT control system
In 2009, WABCO still adhered to its previous commitment to the Chinese market: It will continue to deepen and expand localization, not only the localization of production, the localization of procurement, but also the localization of products. For example, in 2007, WABCO's first wholly-owned production base in China was opened in Qingdao. Last year, it just announced a joint venture agreement with Guangdong Fuhua Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to form a joint venture in China to produce air brake disc brakes. . This year, WABCO will, as always, accelerate the localization process, and a series of new products will be put into mass production at the domestic production base, such as the new generation of modular mechanical transmission automatic control system (AMT) for light-duty diesel engines. Vacuum pumps, energy-saving air compressors, clutch booster cylinders, etc., as well as many European high-end products, including electronic braking system (EBS) and electronic stability control system (ESC), electronic door control system (MTS), There is a complete vehicle electronic control system (VEA) that will begin to be applied in the Chinese market. Among them, AMT technology preemptively initiated WABCO's first shot in the New Year.
At the meeting, WABCO introduced the participants on the system structure, working principle, and benefits of the new generation modular AMT to vehicle manufacturers and end users. The AMT system consists of three core components: a shift handle integrated with an electronic control unit (ECU) installed in the cab, a shift actuator mounted on the transmission, and a clutch actuator. Loading this system on a mechanical gearbox is equivalent to using an electronic system instead of manipulating gear shifts and controlling clutches to automate shifts. Its highly modular design also promotes product development and marketing for vehicle and transmission manufacturers. Promotion.
“The new generation modular AMT system is the latest R&D result of WABCO's more than 20 years of professional experience in variable speed control automation; it can be easily applied to existing gearboxes without the need for gearbox design changes. It can help our customers shorten development time and reduce costs,†said Yu Sujie, general manager of WABCO's China operations. “WABCO's mechanical transmission automatic control system was first developed in 1986 and has more than 1.4 million sets so far. The AMT control system is used on trucks and buses around the world. We believe our experience and technology will also bring more value and market competitiveness to our Chinese customers.â€
Dr. Liu Liang, President of WABCO Asia Pacific, also stated: "WABCO has been providing valuable products and trustworthy service guarantees for the world's major manufacturers of trucks, buses and trailers. In China, WABCO has always adhered to it. To promote localization strategy, through active cooperation and joint development with local customers, we will introduce advanced technologies and leading products like AMT into the Chinese market. With our experience and expertise in vehicle control, we will continue to make safety and environmental protection , Energy-saving, and vehicle-improving products have been introduced into China to make our contribution to the improvement of commercial vehicle technology in China, the improvement of road traffic safety, and the construction of an environmentally friendly and conservation-oriented society."
