WABCO's OptiDrive system, a modular automated manual transmission system for medium and heavy duty commercial vehicles, continues the company's 20-year track record of technology leadership in transmission automation. Its high degree of modularity significantly reduces the development time required for application to transmission and vehicle platforms, enabling faster time to market for manufacturers of trucks, buses and transmissions.
By optimizing gear shifting, WABCO's OptiDrive system improves vehicle control and safety while enhancing the driver's effectiveness. It also significantly contributes to decreased fuel consumption and reduced maintenance cost for the vehicle's powertrain while increasing vehicle efficiency and environmental protection.
