Meritor designs, develops, manufactures, markets, distributes, sells, services
and supports a broad range of products for use in the transportation and industrial
sectors. In addition to sales of original equipment systems and components,
we provide our original equipment, aftermarket and remanufactured products to
vehicle OEMs, their dealers (who in turn sell to motor carriers and commercial
vehicle users of all sizes), independent distributors, and other end-users in
certain aftermarkets.
Axles, Undercarriage & Drivelines
We believe we are one of the worlds leading independent suppliers of axles
for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, with the leading market position
in axle manufacturing in North America, South America and Europe, and are one
of the major axle manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. Our extensive truck
axle product line includes a wide range of front steer axles and rear drive
axles. Our front steer and rear drive axles can be equipped with our cam, wedge
or air disc brakes, automatic slack adjusters, complete wheel-end equipment
such as hubs, rotors and drums, and (through our MeritorWABCO joint venture)
anti-lock braking systems (“ABS”) and vehicle stability control
systems.
We supply heavy-duty axles in certain global regions for use in numerous off-highway
vehicle applications, including construction, material handling, and mining.
We also supply axles for use in military tactical wheeled vehicles, principally
in North America. These products are designed to tolerate high tonnage and operate
under extreme geographical and climate conditions. In addition, we have other
off-highway vehicle products that are currently in development for certain other
regions. We also supply axles for use in buses, coaches and recreational vehicles,
fire trucks and other specialty vehicles in North America, Asia Pacific and
Europe, and we believe we are a leading supplier of bus and coach axles in North
America.
We are one of the major manufacturers of heavy-duty trailer axles in North America.
Our trailer axles are available in more than 40 models in capacities from 20,000
to 30,000 pounds for virtually all heavy trailer applications and are available
with our broad range of suspension modules, brake products, including drum brakes,
disc brakes, anti-lock and trailer stability control systems, and ABS (through
our MeritorWABCO joint venture).
We supply universal joints and driveline components, including our Permalube™
universal joint and RPL Permalube™ driveline, which are maintenance free,
permanently lubricated designs used often in the high mileage on-highway market.
We supply drivelines in a variety of global regions, for use in numerous on-highway
vehicle applications, including construction, material handling and mining.
We supply transfer cases and drivelines for use in military tactical wheeled
vehicles, principally in North America. We also supply transfer cases for use
in specialty vehicles in North America. Anti-lock brakes and stability control
systems (which we supply through our MeritorWABCO joint venture) are also used
in military vehicles and specialty vehicles. In addition, we supply trailer
air suspension systems and products with an increasing market presence in North
America. We also supply advanced suspension modules for use in light-, medium-
and heavy-duty military tactical wheeled vehicles, principally in North America.
Brakes and Braking Systems
We believe we are one of the leading independent suppliers of air brakes to
medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle manufacturers in North America and
Europe. In Brazil, one of the largest truck and trailer markets in the world,
we believe that Master Sistemas Automotivos Limitada, our 49%-owned joint venture
with Randon S. A. Vehiculos e Implementos, is a leading supplier of brakes and
brake-related products.
Through manufacturing facilities located in North America, Asia Pacific and
Europe, we manufacture a broad range of foundation air brakes, as well as automatic
slack adjusters for brake systems. Our foundation air brake products include
cam drum brakes, which offer improved lining life and tractor/trailer interchangeability;
wedge drum brakes, which are lightweight and provide automatic internal wear
adjustment; air disc brakes, which provide enhanced stopping distance and improved
fade resistance for demanding applications; and wheel-end components such as
hubs, drums and rotors.
Our brakes and brake system components also are used in military tactical wheeled
vehicles, principally in North America. We also supply brakes for use in buses,
coaches and recreational vehicles, fire trucks and other specialty vehicles
in North America and Europe, and we believe we are the leading supplier of bus
and coach brakes in North America. We also supply brakes for commercial vehicles,
buses and coaches in Asia Pacific.
U.S. Federal regulations require that new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles sold
in the United States be equipped with ABS. We believe that Meritor WABCO Vehicle
Control Systems, our 50%-owned joint venture with WABCO, is a leading supplier
of ABS and a supplier of other electronic and pneumatic control systems (such
as stability control and collision avoidance systems) for North American heavy-duty
commercial vehicles. The joint venture also supplies hydraulic ABS to the North
American medium-duty truck market and produces stability control and collision
mitigation systems for tractors and trailers, which are designed to help maintain
vehicle stability and aid in reducing tractor-trailer rollovers and other incidents.
Other Products
In addition to the products discussed above, we sell other complementary products,
including third party and private label items, through our aftermarket distribution
channels. These products are generally sold under master distribution or similar
agreements with outside vendors and include brake shoes and friction materials;
automatic slack adjusters; yokes and shafts; wheel-end hubs and drums; ABS and
stability control systems; shock absorbers and air springs; air brakes, air
systems, air dryers and compressors.
