WROCLAW, Poland – WABCO Holdings Inc. (NYSE: WBC), a leading global supplier of braking control systems and other advanced technologies that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, has opened a new Global Test Center here. The Test Center is an extension to the existing WABCO Research and Development (R&D) Center which opened in October 2014 and represents an investment of $3.3 million.

The facility will enable performance and endurance tests for a range of solutions including its Modular Braking Systems Platform (mBSP™), Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) and car compressors, all of which improve vehicle safety and efficiency. A variety of climate chambers enables state of the art automotive testing and measurements in extreme temperature ranges. An additional rapid prototyping workshop for valve technologies will also be installed on-site.

“The new Wroclaw Test Center will enable us to increase our capacity in product validation allowing us to deliver greater value and quality to our customers,” said Dr. Eng. Elżbieta Gawin, Engineering Site Leader at WABCO Poland.

“Through expansion of our R&D Center capabilities, our employees will gain further experiences and competences in mastering product and system development that improve the safety, efficiency and communication of heavy duty vehicles that we see every day on our roads,” said Paweł Pałubiński, Country & Site Leader at WABCO Poland. “This investment further strengthens our position as one of the largest employers of skilled workers in the Lower Silesia Region.”
