Concept

Providing safety, comfort, and a sense of security to transportation systems with our brakes for trucks and buses

In 1933, Nabtesco Automotive Corporation became the first company in Japan to develop a hydraulic brake system, and, up to the present day, the company has remained a leading manufacturer of brake systems for trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles.
We conduct innovative technological development so as to materialize our pursuit of safety, comfort, and a sense of security. Our efforts have led our Air Dryer and Wedge Chamber (for commercial vehicles) to come to hold the largest market share in Japan. We ensure safety and provide environmentally conscious products to commercial vehicle manufacturers.

Amid its high trust and stellar reputation in Japan, Nabtesco Automotive set up a production base in Thailand in 2004, aiming to acquire a presence as a global company, and established a joint venture company in India in 2012, toward actively participating in the overseas truck market.
Nabtesco Automotive will continue taking on challenges and leveraging its unique world-class technological capabilities.
