The two-minute video neatly illustrates how Delphi Technologies is able to offer first-to-market brake discs and pads for the newest makes and models.
Stopping safely and in a controlled manner is the most important aspect of road safety, and Delphi Technologies’ near-100 years’ experience gives the customer peace of mind for a critical safety component. Delphi Technologies’ catalogue provides brake pad coverage for 99.5% of the European car parc, more than any other competitor.
Delphi Technologies’ brake pads are manufactured in five carefully crafted layers. Firstly, the anti-rattle shims match or exceed OEM quality for quiet braking. The back plate is pressed from high-strength steel, then powder coated for longevity.
Above the back plate, a 3mm under-layer absorbs noise and provides extra strength, while the friction material itself is chosen from 20 unique compounds engineered for specific environments. Finally, the pad surfacing and slots are OEM-configured for optimal bedding-in process after fitting.
Delphi Technologies’ brake discs feature a unique GEOMET coating for long-term corrosion protection – ideal for high-performance applications where discs are ‘on show’ through larger rims. Independent testing has proven Delphi Technologies’ anti-corrosion strategy out-performs the competition.
Discs can be ventilated and cross-drilled, according to application. High-carbon steel is used, and all Delphi Technologies brake products are ECE R90 approved, for peace of mind. And even the environmental impact is carefully considered: recent innovations have saved 10 tonnes of plastic in brake pad packaging, in addition to a 23-tonne cardboard reduction in disc boxes.
