WABCO will showcase its broadest range of advanced aftermarket solutions yet for distributors, workshops and fleet operators at the 2018 Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW). The industry event will take place from January 22-25 at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA).
As part of the company's drive to broaden its portfolio, WABCO will premiere its differentiating budget spare parts brand ProVia at HDAW.
WABCO will highlight at HDAW a number of WABCO- and ProVia-branded parts exclusively available through WABCO’s North American aftermarket organization or distributor network. Select WABCO products on display will include:
- Air Disc Brakes (ADBs): WABCO MAXXUS heavy-duty ADB for trucks delivers braking power fueled by its single-piston design. With 25 percent fewer parts, WABCO ADBs feature reliability, serviceability and expanded service intervals of up to twice that of traditional drum brakes, the company says. In addition, WABCO MAXXUS ADB reduces stopping distances up to 10 percent compared to today’s average drum brakes.
- WABCO EasyFit Automatic Slack Adjuster: WABCO EasyFit is a "maintenance-free" brake adjuster with clearance sensing. Simple and quick to install, according to the company, it maintains a constant clearance between brake lining and drum even under extreme temperature conditions and features corrosion protection. WABCO EasyFit significantly reduces service costs as it eliminates the need for quarterly brake service.
WABCO will also showcase a number of ProVia-branded, industry-leading aftermarket products, including:
- Brake pads: ProVia brake pads cover the most commonly used air disc brakes in leading truck and trailer platforms in North America. ProVia brake pads come with approximately 10 different kits that offer replacement alternatives for more than 120 part numbers of various commercial vehicle builders.
- Spring brake chambers: ProVia offers brake chambers with a universal design to cover a wide range of applications in the truck, bus, and off-highway vehicle segments. ProVia brake chambers perform significantly more operating cycles than comparable budget parts ensuring a longer working life.
“We are excited to showcase at HDAW 2018 WABCO’s extensive aftermarket product portfolio benefiting distributors, workshops and fleet operators in North America,” said Abe Aon, WABCO North America Sales Leader, Aftermarket. “HDAW is the ideal platform to feature our new offerings for Sheppard steering gears and to introduce our new budget spare parts brand ProVia which perfectly balances product safety, reliability and cost.”
