WABCO : Introduces OnGuardACTIVE™ Collision Mitigation System to North America

WABCO Introduces OnGuardACTIVE™ Collision Mitigation System to North America

• Superior Radar Provides Over 30% Longer Range Allowing for Earlier Recognition of Potentially Critical Driving Situations
• "All Season System" Leverages 77GHz Radar to Deliver Better Performance in Poor Visibility Driving Conditions

BRUSSELS, Belgium and LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, USA - March 25, 2015 - WABCO (NYSE: WBC), a leading innovator and global supplier of technologies that improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicles, will launch its most advanced Collision Mitigation System (CMS) for trucks and buses in North America. WABCO's OnGuardACTIVE™ features superior radar and is effective in all seasons.

WABCO made the announcement leading up to the 2015 Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS), one of the largest heavy-duty trucking industry events in the world, held from March 26-28, 2015, in Louisville, Kentucky (USA).

WABCO's OnGuardACTIVE utilizes a powerful 77GHz radar sensor that maintains the system's high performance in all weather conditions. Its superior performance is particularly vital in poor visibility situations such as white outs, heavy rain, dense fog, blinding sunshine or night time driving when camera-based sensors used on other collision mitigation systems may be impaired.

OnGuardACTIVE's radar offers up to five times higher bandwidth than 24GHz radar-based collision mitigation systems available in the market. The system's dual mode function addresses both long range and adjacent lane views. This enables higher accuracy in object detection, and a more than 30 percent longer range than alternative systems. OnGuardACTIVE is capable of analyzing traffic up to 650 feet ahead, thus recognizing impending critical driving situations earlier.

WABCO's OnGuardACTIVE alerts the driver to potentially critical driving situations via acoustic, visual and haptic signals. Should the vehicle operator fail to take corrective action, the system provides active braking on moving, stopping and stationary vehicles to mitigate or prevent impending rear-end collisons. OnGuardACTIVE is capable of delivering up to full braking on moving and stopping vehicles and can bring the vehicle to a complete stop. It can also deliver partial braking on stationary vehicles.

"WABCO's new OnGuardACTIVE is our most advanced collision mitigation system," said Nik Varty, WABCO President, Americas. "Rain or shine, foggy or clear, drivers constantly travel on America's roads. They need a system that works as hard as they do to keep them and their vehicles safe whatever the season. OnGuardACTIVE's superior radar technology is up to the task."

Added Varty: "Our long range and high precision radar detects moving, stopping or stationary vehicles early, giving drivers precious time to manage hazardous driving situations."

WABCO is a market leader in collision mitigation systems for the commercial vehicle industry in North America. The company has sold more than 80,000 OnGuard™ collision mitigation systems in the U.S. alone having protected customers collectively for more than 9.5 billion miles.

OnGuardACTIVE will be sold and supported in North America by Meritor WABCO.
