WABCO Holdings Inc. opened its newest Global Technology and Innovation Center in Hanover, Germany. The company, a supplier of technologies and services to improve commercial vehicle safety, efficiency, and connectivity, stated that this $30 million facility will expand its global product development and engineering capabilities. This will be strategically important as industries migrate toward increasingly autonomous, connected, and electric commercial vehicles.

The 124,000 ft2 facility is home to more than 420 local employees and hosts visiting engineering project teams from around the world. As WABCO's largest Research and Development hub, the new site will fulfil a central role within the company’s integrated network of product development and engineering centers spanning four continents.
