Starting in 2010, Wabco will supply Ashok Leyland with its new OptiDrive modular automated manual transmission system.
According to Wabco, depending on the driver's preference, the new OptiDrive system can change gears in full automatic mode or as initiated by the driver. By shifting gears at the most efficient speed, the OptiDrive system significantly contributes to fuel economy.
Hans-Jurgen Sander, vice president of driveline control at Wabco, said: "Our long term agreement with Ashok Leyland marks another milestone in expanding and securing Wabco's global leadership position in automated manual transmission technology.
"As a technology breakthrough, Wabco's OptiDrive system will continue to grow demand for automated manual transmissions worldwide, particularly in emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, China and India, where adoption of such systems is expected to expand rapidly."
