By integrating Haldex's high performance dual disc braking system with SKF's proven hub unit technology, a much more compact and efficient product is created, improving safety and performance.
This allows the vehicle builder to optimise space within the unit.
In addition, when compared with today's technical solutions, fleet operators can benefit from a longer brake service life, easy replacement and increased uptime.
The bottom line is higher performance in combination with reduced vehicle weight and the potential for increasing payload capacity.
Tom Johnstone, CEO of SKF said: "The partnership with Haldex gives us the opportunity to develop an innovative solution that meets the safety and performance needs of our common customers". Request free introductory details about products from SKF UK ...
