Rába strengthen presence on European market
One of Rába’s long term strategic objectives is to boost sales on the European markets. The company is continuously developing its products and technologies to comply with the latest exhaust emission norms, with a view to reducing their eco-footprint.
A recently signed contract helps Rába achieve their objectives. According to a new deal, the company supplies a European, premium category vehicle manufacturer with improved axle systems for its new semi-trailer model. The details of the cooperation are established in a long-term, five-year agreement.
The cooperation between the two companies dates back several years, it was in 2007 that Rába first supplied the partner’s top-category heavy trucks with front axles.
The contract follows up an earlier deal, expanding cooperation between the two companies. The manufacturer is currently developing a new semi-trailer model, and Rába have won the manufacturing rights for its axle.
The ongoing partnership signals that Rába is deemed as a reliable supplier by leading international manufacturers.
According to the agreement, the Győr-based company will supply prototypes this year, while serial production of the axles will begin next year.
The total value of deliveries will amount to EUR 2 million annually. The agreement further consolidates Rába’s partnership with a customer in the Hungarian company’s core business area – axle systems manufacturing – and also secures a significant presence on the European commercial vehicle market, where every third–fourth truck is fitted with Rába’s products.
