Knorr-Bremse is the leading worldwide supplier of Air Disc Brakes and offers a range of compact lightweight designs to suit all typical wheel sizes on truck, bus and trailer applications.

Disc brake technology brings immediate cost savings for commercial vehicle operators due to the reduced weight and easier servicing compared with conventional systems.

The very low hysteresis of Disc Brakes when compared to Drum Brakes, gives a highly responsive control to the driver and enables excellent compatibility with modern electronic control systems (ABS and EBS). This, combined with minimal fade resistance, gives consistently high performance under all driving conditions.

When connected to the EBS on trucks, it is possible to continuously monitor and balance pad wear; for trailers we offer electronic pad wear  monitoring systems. Both systems provide valuable information to the driver and fleet owner of the need for brake pad inspection.
