Core offering

Wabco Do Brasil Ind Com Freios manufactures and distributes braking systems and related components for commercial vehicles (trucks, buses, and trailers) in Brazil. Operating as the local entity of the WABCO brand (now part of ZF Group), it supplies air brakes, ABS, EBS, and other vehicle control systems to commercial vehicle manufacturers and the aftermarket.

Product overview

ZF operates as a global technology company organized into seven divisions serving passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and industrial technology markets. Its product portfolio spans Vehicle Motion Control (Chassis Solutions division offering integrated braking, steering, damping, and stabilization systems including the cubiX software and ProAI central computer), Electrified Powertrain Technology (TraXon 2 Hybrid and eDrive Platform SELECT for electric and hybrid vehicles), Electronics & Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS cameras, sensors, and turnkey systems), ZF Lifetec (passive safety systems including airbags and seat belts), Commercial Vehicle Solutions (technologies for fleet efficiency and automation), Industrial Technology (driveline and transmission solutions for construction machinery, agricultural machinery, marine, wind power, rail, material handling, industrial gearboxes, and machinery — including the Duoplan two-speed gearbox and Tiratron hysteresis components), and Aftermarket (spare parts and digital solutions under ZF, Lemförder, Sachs, and TRW brands). Supporting these divisions, ZF Engineering Solutions provides systems engineering, testing, software, virtual engineering, and cybersecurity services, while ZF Mechanical Engineering delivers custom special machine engineering. The company emphasizes four technology megatrends: artificial intelligence, software-defined vehicle, cloud edge computing, and digital twins, driving decarbonization across all vehicle segments.
