Fras-le North America Inc. has launched its air disc brake pad program for the North American aftermarket, an an expansion of the company’s "Work Truck and Fleet Disc Brake Pad Program," which kicked off in May.
Sold under the Extreme Service brand, Fras-le’s new air disc brake pad program includes 11 part numbers covering more than 59 applications on 12 brake systems. According to the company, Fras-le air disc brake pads are made of OE quality friction material and offer reliable, quiet, durable and longer life performance. This line of asbestos-free friction material was developed to meet the needs of heavy-duty and commercial vehicles, and meets the European ECE-R90 quality standard, which requires all safety related replacement parts to perform within certain parameters of the Original Equipment (OE) specification, the maker added.
"We are proud to bring our line of air disc brake pads for commercial vehicles to the North American aftermarket," said Rodrigo Meirelles, Fras-le North America’s vice president and general manager. "This portfolio expansion demonstrates our commitment to be the primary source for OE quality, aftermarket brake pads for work trucks in North America."
Fras-le said its Work Truck and Fleet Disc Brake Pad Program provides distributors with a complete sales tool kit to serve this fleet segment, along with marketing and technical support and training resources. In addition, Fras-le has dedicated fleet brake specialists to serve as a liaison between fleets and distributors.
With this portfolio expansion, the company now offers a complete line of hydraulic and air disc brake pads for Class 1c-8 vehicles. Extreme Service and Magnum Pro make up Fras-le’s aftermarket brake pad line for medium-duty vehicles and fleets in North America. Extreme Service is engineered for severe-duty applications, and is available for both air and hydraulic disc brake systems. Magnum Pro is the professional’s semi-metallic choice for hydraulic disc brake systems. Both product lines are designed especially for medium-duty vehicles and fleets, the maker added.
