Focus on functions Always see things from the customer‘s

viewpoint
In the first step, we adopted the customer’s viewpoint and divided the braking
system into functional segments: “Supply”, “Actuation”, “Interaction”, “Control”, As the global market leader for braking systems, Knorr-Bremse has a product
