Cummins Drivetrain & Braking Systems, a leading global supplier of drivetrain, mobility, braking, and aftermarket solutions for commercial vehicles has announced a new range of aftermarket air brake disc pad kits, specifically designed for the trailer market sector.
There will be seven new kits available in the new Cummins range, with a one-year warranty for each. The new range is part of the company’s focus on this sector, backed by the recent investment of $35m in the Cummins air disc brake development facility in Cwmbran, Wales.
Building on Meritor’s pedigree of over 110 years, this launch strengthens the company’s presence in the trailer market sector.
Sarah McLeod of Cummins Drivetrain and Braking Systems said: “Since the acquisition of Meritor, this sector has become a key part of our product strategy. With this launch, Cummins now offers brake pad coverage for over 90% of the European commercial vehicle market, including applications from BPW, Haldex, and Knorr.”
The Allfit new range of pads are certified to meet stringent ECE R90 standards to ensure consistent performance, safety, and compliance.
Manufactured using quality standards, the features and benefits of the Cummins product range include;
- Designed to be durable, handling extreme loads and high temperatures, using high quality friction materials.
- Built to equivalent original equipment specifications, ensuring compatibility with many commercial vehicle brake systems.
- Perform consistently and are resistant to brake fade, maintaining safety under all uses and conditions.
- Provide a simplified process for fleet managers and operators, who can procure all brake pads for different trucks in their fleet from one source.
The Allfit range extension supports Cummins’ recent launch of remanufactured brake calipers, significantly enhancing its aftermarket portfolio for trucks, buses, and trailers and reinforcing its commitment to delivering comprehensive, high-performance braking solutions for the commercial vehicle sector.
“The Allfit range complements the current Genuine and Premium Meritor brake pad offerings. As part of a wider comprehensive brake pad portfolio this means that fleets can select the best brake pad kits that meet their needs from a trusted brand with high-quality, dependable solutions,“ added McLeod.
