Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC said its Formula Blue hydraulic brake parts are available through all aftermarket channels, including local independents, regional multi-branch distributors, national IAM networks and original equipment service (OES) programs. International, FleetPride and Arizona Brake & Clutch Supply Inc. top the growing list of aftermarket channel partners that carry the premium brand, the company said.
Offering a complete line of quality hydraulic brake parts for the broadest range of domestic and imported makes in commercial vehicle applications, Formula Blue allows distributors the ability to meet the entire needs of a commercial fleet, whether the vehicle is a school bus or a dump truck. The Formula Blue product line includes replacement hydraulic brake parts for light- and medium-duty commercial vehicles ranging from Class 1 to Class 6 applications.
“We offer Formula Blue products through our International dealer channel because of the depth and breadth of the product line,” said Peter Ferreira, brake product manager, Navistar, Inc. “Formula Blue has the most complete range of hydraulic brake parts through current model years and allows our dealers to leverage their buying power and maximize inventory dollars in this tough economy.”
The user-friendly supplement includes model year coverage up to 2011. The supplement provides updated parts information along with a complete, illustrated parts guide. A new addition to the 2010 supplement is the illustrated views of the most popular medium-duty disc brake setups, along with the service components associated with those wheel-end packages. The resource provides a quick reference that allows users to easily identify Formula Blue replacement parts on even the latest model year vehicles, the company said.
Formula Blue product coverage includes new, premium brake calipers and rotors with industry-leading fit and quality, as well as complete lines of pads and shoes, brake hardware, drums, master cylinders and clutch hydraulics.
