Among the business’s flagship products is the turret aiming and stabilisation drive system, which enables modern armoured land vehicles to accurately and simultaneously locate a target and stabilise a shot while moving out of the line of sight for self-protection. This stabilisation technology is also used to manage the amount of tilt that occurs when a train travels rapidly around a curve, maximising passenger safety and comfort.

“We specialise in ideas,” says managing director Ulrico Zubler. “Every one of our innovative electro-hydraulic and electromechanical solutions results from years of in-depth research, close collaboration with our clients and more than six decades of industry expertise.”

Drive Technology is part of Curtiss-Wright Corp, whose legacy of reliable solutions began with aviation pioneers Glenn Curtiss and the Wright Brothers. Today, Curtiss-Wright delivers highly engineered, critical function products and services to the commercial, industrial, defence and energy markets globally.

Drive Technology’s solutions offer vast potential to the Asia-Pacific region, where efficient, safe and cost-effective technologies are in high demand across all industries. By tapping China’s growing markets, particularly for food production and transport, Curtiss-Wright aims to broaden its presence in the region, which includes manufacturing centres in Suzhou and Tianjin.

“Drive Technology continues Curtiss-Wright’s heritage of innovation,” Zubler says. “We look forward to working with like-minded partners who similarly aim to make a world of difference.”
