(NYSE:WBC), ([ www.wabco-auto.com ]) a global technology leader and tier-one supplier to the commercial vehicle industry, is showcasing its award-winning Intelligent Trailer Program at the 2012 Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Kentucky, through March 24.

Enabled by several breakthrough technologies, WABCO's Intelligent Trailer Program combines major functions to improve vehicle safety and efficiency into a single integrated program for all types of trailers globally. Functions can be used separately or in combination, allowing trailer builders and fleet operators to select those functions most relevant for their particular needs through the most cost-effective solution.

"WABCO's Intelligent Trailer Program is the industry's only complete program that optimizes return on investment for fleets and drivers by reducing vehicle and trailer downtime, lowering costs, improving driver comfort, and enhancing vehicle safety and efficiency," said Nikhil Varty, WABCO Vice President, Americas.

The program offers 25 functions to customers in many regions worldwide. Vehicle manufacturers can customize additional functions to meet individual operational and maintenance needs. In North America, currently offered functions include:

• Emergency Brake Alert - It flashes the trailer's stop lights during hard braking to warn trailing drivers and reduce the risk of rear-end collisions.
  
  
• Rollover Stability Support - A special system assesses data such as load, wheel speed and transverse acceleration. The trailer automatically brakes as necessary.
  
  
• Finisher Brake - It helps avoid damage and spillage of asphalt while unloading tippers during road construction.
  
  
• Overload Warning - It allows maximum trailer load and alerts the driver in case of overload.
  
  
• Tire Pressure Monitoring (IVTM) - Using external wheel-mounted sensors, the system warns drivers in real-time when tires are deflating or under-pressurized.
