(PresseBox) - The joint venture between Knorr-Bremse, the world?s leading manufacturer of air braking systems and system supplier for commercial vehicles, and Dongfeng, China?s leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles, was established in 2015. Initially, Knorr-Bremse Dongfeng Electronic & Technology (DETC) Commercial Vehicle Braking Technology Co., Ltd. focused on the production of mechanical compressed air valves and complete Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS). With effect from January 1, 2018, Dongfeng Auto Parts (Group) Co. Ltd. has contributed its compressor business and associated activities to the joint venture.
?Dongfeng and Knorr-Bremse complement each other perfectly, with Knorr-Bremse contributing its extensive product expertise and Dongfeng its in-depth knowledge of the market,? said Mr. Chen Xinglin, General Manager of Dongfeng Auto Parts.
?Since the joint venture was launched the company has shown excellent performance,? said Dr. Peter Laier, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse responsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems division. ?In close cooperation with Dongfeng we are constantly optimizing our products to meet the specific requirements of the Chinese market. The expanded cooperation with Dongfeng Auto Parts will help to launch adapted solutions to make Chinese commercial vehicles safer, smarter, and more environmentally friendly.?

The Chinese truck market as a whole is currently showing rapid growth.
