Reply Dec. 15, 2020 When Bendix Aviation Company and Westinghouse Air Brake established the Bendix-Westinghouse Automotive Air Brake Company in 1930, the internal-combustion-engine truck itself was barely 35 years old. Ninety years after that merger established the origins of Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, the company's innovation, leadership, and global collaborations have never stopped improving the safety of North America's roadways. Subscribe "As much as today's trucking landscape – from its broad scope to its cutting-edge driver assistance technologies – would have been almost unimaginable to the Bendix team members of nine decades ago, the vision and dedication that fueled those innovators still remains a part of every employee today," said Bendix President and CEO Mike Hawthorne. "And while we're incredibly proud of the legacy of Bendix's industry contributions over the years, we're even more excited about the path forward that those achievements have made possible. Even at 90, we're more energized than ever by these dynamic times, and the promise and potential of the road ahead."
