With new disc brake pads for trucks, truck trailers, and buses, Bosch is expanding its commercial vehicle program with a solution that combines stable braking performance, cost-effectiveness, and workshop-friendliness. Bosch states that its new disc brake pads for commercial vehicles are designed to offer a particularly balanced ratio between a stable friction coefficient, comfort, and wear characteristics.
The new brake pads are delivered with a specially roughened surface coating which should allow them to grip the brake disc better from the start, shortening the break - in period and enabling them to reach their full braking power much more quickly. Bosch has tested the brake pads in accordance with ISO 26865 and ISO 26866 standards, in addition to the legal requirements. These voluntary tests evaluate factors such as break -in and wear behaviour, heat sensitivity, and simulations of downhill driving. According to Bosch, the wear behaviour test according to ISO 26866 showed that Bosch brake pads can reduce brake disc wear by up to 25 percent compared to the corresponding origin al equipment brake pads. By the end of 2026, Bosch will double the range of the new product line, thereby covering around 90 percent of the commercial vehicle fleet in Europe. This will enable workshops to source suitable Bosch solution for a majority of common vehicles. The new program will initially be introduced in Germany, Poland, France, and Turkey; other European countries will follow in stages.
