WABCO OptiRide Electronically Controlled Air Suspension

WABCO introduces its next generation electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) technology, newly branded as OptiRide.

• For trucks and buses
• Helps improve fuel economy and increases vehicle efficiency through intelligent chassis suspension control
• Intelligent Lift Axle Control automatically optimizes trailer load transfer, including temporarily putting more weight on the drive axle, to improve traction performance
• Maintains trailer at a constant ride height
• Delivers enhanced load protection and more stable vehicle operation, which also helps to increase vehicle and road safety
• Maximizes traction performance of 6x2 trucks, particularly on low-friction surfaces, while minimizing tire wear
• Enabler technology for fleets to transition from trucks with a heavy and expensive 6x4 axle configuration to a lighter 6x2 configuration while ensuring traction performance
• Helps to reduce vehicle weight, resulting in improved fuel efficiency or increased payload
