The new brake disc design “drastically” reduces the fitting times – meaning that transport operators can get vehicles back on the road faster and benefit from reduced technician labour times when replacing discs.
NEW launched and modified, ‘easy-fit’ version of the brake disc assembly for DAF CF and XF trucks – moving from the original 40-piece fitting to a new unit that requires just 10 bolts to secure it to the hub.
ECE R90:02 Brake Disc Approvals
It is now more than 15 years since the European safety regulation, UN ECER90, was introduced for replacement disc brake pads and drum brake linings. The aim was to establish a common minimum standard of braking performance, product integrity and manufactured quality for replacement brake linings across the whole of Europe. Previously, the market was unregulated and products of dubious performance and quality could be sold with impunity with consequent safety risks to all road users.
Brake drums and disc were not included in ECE R90. These too are safety critical components and hitherto there have been no regulatory standards to ensure their service quality. Consequently, five years ago, the UN Geneva-based Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF), the body responsible for preparing regulatory proposals on active safety, began working to extend ECER90 to cover brake discs and drums.
The regulation only applies to replacement brake discs and drums for braking systems type-approved after these dates; the approval of replacement parts for vehicles already in production before these dates will not be mandatory. However, Truck Parts (NE) Ltd has taken the view that even the replacement parts we sell today should meet the new legislative requirements. Consequently the existing Truck Parts (NE) range of CV brake discs are now undergoing approval by the UK Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA).
