TRW Automotive Holdings today announced that its TRW Automotive Japan Co., Ltd. subsidiary is supplying advanced braking systems, including electronic stability control, to the latest versions of Mazda Motor Corp's CX-9 sport utility vehicles.

Working closely with their Mazda colleagues, TRW engineers helped to design and develop the electronic stability control and brake actuation systems for the CX-9 and is also supplying ball joint suspension components.

These systems can assist drivers in keeping their vehicle on the road in varying road and weather conditions, a key factor in minimizing rollover accidents.

"We are pleased to assist in the development of advanced braking solutions for this exciting new vehicle," said Peter Lake, executive vice president, Sales and Business Development for TRW Automotive. "The CX-9 is a great combination of stylish design and utility, and TRW safety systems like electronic stability control have also been designed to have a real-world impact in helping drivers to avoid accidents."
