In June 2017, Daimler Trucks, the world's largest manufacturer of trucks over six tons, extended its long-term supply agreement with WABCO for new heavy-duty AMT control technology to support its series production mainly in Europe, North America, Japan, and South America. This contract with Daimler Trucks extended WABCO's existing AMT supply agreement, while also expanding its volume.

This technology can operate in high temperature conditions. With AMT, vehicle operators can reduce mechanical wear on gearboxes, lower maintenance costs, and decrease vehicle downtime, and also enable drivers to focus further attention on road and traffic conditions, resulting in increased comfort and safety.
