About Haldex

Strategy Traction Systems

The main elements of the Division’s strategy are:

To meet the market’s requirements for cost-effective solutions and premium products based on the modularity inherent in Haldex’s solutions.
To strengthen Haldex’s position in the North American market and, in the long term, to secure its position as the global leader in controllable AWD systems. To achieve this goal, additional production capacity will be required. As a result, major investments were made during 2007 in the plant in Landskrona, Sweden, and a new plant in Irapuato, Mexico.
To reduce costs by increasing purchases from low-cost countries combined with technological advances of products and production.
To strengthen our position as the technology leader in controllable AWD systems through continued aggressive investments in product development.
