Commercial Vehicle Systems

Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) develops and manufactures brake systems for heavy trucks, trailers and buses. The product portfolio comprises all main components and sub-systems included in a complete air brake system. Operations are conducted in four business units: Actuators, Air Management, Brake Controls and Foundation Brake.

• Actuators manufactures brake cylinders that convert energy in the form of compressed air to the mechanical movement required to activate the wheel brakes.
• Air Management develops and manufactures products to produce and dehumidify compressed air in brake systems, such as compressors, air dehumidifiers and air purifiers, as well as air suspension systems.
• Brake Controls manufactures products for regulation of compressed air in brake systems, such as valves and electronically regulated subsystems (ABS, ESP, EBS).
• Foundation Brake develops and produces the wheel brake products that provide the actual braking effect, such as disc brakes, automatic brake adjusters for drum brakes and electronic sensor systems for indicating wear on brake surfaces.

In addition, the Division conducts brake-reconditioning operations in the North American aftermarket.

Manufacturing is conducted in Brazil, India, China, Mexico, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Hungary and the US.

The share of the market that can be served with Haldex’s current product program amounts to about 15 percent. In individual product areas, Haldex has a significantly higher market share.
