WAS Auto
Heavy-duty load sensing valves optimized for Norwegian commercial fleets and passenger safety.
In the Norwegian automotive landscape, the demand for precision-engineered Brake Proportioning Valves is driven by one of the most challenging driving environments in the world. From the steep fjords of the west coast to the freezing tundra of the north, vehicle braking systems must operate with 100% reliability. While Norway is a global leader in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption, the commercial sector—including logging, fishing transport, and mountain tourism—relies heavily on robust hydraulic braking systems that require high-performance load-sensing valves.
Factories serving the Norwegian market must adhere to the strict EEA (European Economic Area) safety regulations. The trend in Norway is shifting towards "Smart Braking," where traditional mechanical proportioning valves are being integrated with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) to ensure stability on icy roads (Isvei). Our factory specializes in bridging this gap, providing high-durability components that resist the corrosive effects of road salt used extensively in Norwegian winters.
Norwegian roads are treated with aggressive de-icing chemicals. Our valves feature specialized alloy coatings and anti-corrosive finishes that exceed ISO standards, ensuring longevity in high-salt environments.
On Norway's steep inclines, the distribution of weight changes drastically. Our Load Sensing Proportioning Valves (LSPV) automatically adjust hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes, preventing lock-up and ensuring vehicle stability.
With a decade of experience, Shandong WAS Auto Co., Ltd. demonstrates unmatched expertise. Our R&D team partners with global institutions to ensure every valve meets the reliability required for Norwegian "Statens vegvesen" safety inspections.
Established in 2014, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality automotive brake components, including brake pads, discs, and the critical Brake Proportioning Valve. Our mission is built on "Safety, Innovation, and Sustainability." We provide the global automotive industry with eco-friendly and dependable braking solutions.
Our facility is equipped with 80 hot pressing machines and 5 automated spraying lines. This advanced infrastructure allows us to maintain strict quality control and optimize production efficiency. Every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it performs in diverse driving environments, from the deserts of the Middle East to the snowy mountains of Norway.
AI-driven quality control at every stage of the valve production cycle.

A brake proportioning valve must not only regulate pressure but also withstand the expansion and contraction caused by temperature swings from -30°C to +15°C within hours. Our valves are tested in simulated arctic conditions to ensure the internal seals do not fail, a common cause of brake fluid leakage in cheaper alternatives.
The Future of the Aftermarket in Norway: As the Norwegian government pushes for a circular economy, there is a growing trend for "Rebuild & Reuse" in the heavy machinery and truck sector. Our CE-approved rebuild kits and valves are designed for longevity, supporting the sustainability goals of Norwegian transport companies who aim for lower carbon footprints by maintaining vehicles longer rather than frequent replacements.
Innovation & Sustainability: We recognize that innovation is the driving force behind industry progress. WAS Auto continuously invests in R&D to enhance the performance and technology of our brake products. Our R&D team works closely with domestic and international institutions to explore new materials and technologies. Additionally, we actively adopt green manufacturing practices to reduce energy consumption and emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future—a core value highly respected in the Norwegian market.
