● The industry-leading OnGuardPLUSTM - Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) for trucks and buses that detects the movement, deceleration, and rest of the vehicle ahead and alerts the driver through acoustic, visual, and tactile signals . OnGuardPLUS can automatically activate emergency braking to stop the vehicle completely and help prevent or reduce rear-end collisions. The system is the industry's first advanced emergency braking system that meets the requirements of the current European regulations.

OnGuard PLUS is based on the company's innovative OnGuard safety system to further enhance vehicle safety. As North America's first collision mitigation system (CMS) with active braking function, OnGuard can help to ease the rear-end or stop the vehicle's rear-end collision. At the same time, OnGuard is also the leading collision mitigation system solution in North America.

● Advanced hydraulic anti-lock brake system with ESCsmartTM - WABCO's latest generation of hydraulic anti-lock braking system (ABS). The system is also the first in the industry to integrate seamlessly with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and is suitable for light and medium commercial vehicle platforms worldwide. WABCO hydraulic anti-lock brake system has a number of additional features such as automatic traction assist and ramp assist.

● Enhanced OnLaneTM - lane departure warning system based on advanced camera technology, featuring a new optional feature - driving fatigue warning. OnLane continuously monitors the position of the car within the lane markings. It can detect left and right shaking behaviors that indicate fatigued driving, and sends visual and audible warnings to the driver. As a result, the driver's attention is increased and the safety of the vehicle and the road are greatly improved.

● Breakthrough mBSPTM - Modular Braking System Platform (mBSP) enables commercial vehicle manufacturers around the world to interchangeably assemble anti-lock braking systems on different truck and passenger car models based on regional market or regulatory requirements ( ABS) or Electronic Braking System (EBS). WABCO's mBSP is the industry's first in the industry with the highest degree of standardization in the system components and system software for anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic braking systems (EBS).

● The latest generation of TailGUARDTM - an advanced blind spot hazard solution that combines blind spot detection and automatic braking. TailGUARD is a reliable safety technology for trailers since 2010 and is currently used in trucks and buses. TailGUARD uses six ultrasonic sensors to identify moving still objects in the blind spot of the vehicle and even identify very small objects. WABCO's TailGUARD first alerted the driver through sound signals and visual signals, and then automatically activated emergency braking to prevent collisions. During the 2014 IAA Commercial Vehicle Show, WABCO will showcase TailGUARD on its innovative booth every day.

● Fleet Management Solution TX-ECO - Transics International's driving performance management system helps commercial vehicle fleet operators improve vehicle safety and operational efficiency. TX-ECO can record 7 kinds of driving indexes such as overspeed and sudden braking, thus laying the foundation for data-based driver training and improving the safety performance of the vehicle fleet. WABCO acquired Transics International, a leading European company, in February 2014.
