Ferodo’s Eco-Friction low and zero copper brake pads provide greater stopping power compared to competitors\u2019 traditional, copper-based materials, according to tests carried out by MIRA, the UK independent proving ground and research consultancy.
\n
\n\"Ferodo<\/a>From 100kph, Eco-Friction brake pads are shown to improve the braking performance of a Mk6 Volkswagen Golf, Europe\u2019s bestselling car, by 10 per cent, with similar equivocal results displayed across the passenger and light commercial vehicle sectors.\u2028\u2028\u201cFerodo is committed to offering the latest OE technologies and best quality products to the aftermarket, which the results from MIRA show Eco-Friction achieves, from both safety and environmental perspectives,\u201d says J\u00e9r\u00f4me De Bruycker, Federal-Mogul Motorparts Brand Marketing Director EMEA. \u201cWe developed Eco-Friction ahead of legislation outlining a ban on the use of copper in brake materials. Copper is a key ingredient in brake pads but we have been able to replace the material in this next-generation formulation, whilst also guaranteeing equal or better performance and safety compared to standard OE copper-based formulations.\u201d\u2028\u2028Extensive testing conducted at MIRA\u2019s advanced facility examined brake performance of zero-copper Eco-Friction pads against four main competitors using, Mk6 Volkswagen Golf, Renault Captur and Peugeot Boxer and Fiat Ducato light commercial vehicles. Eco-Friction pads improved stopping power for the Golf by 10 per cent from 100kph and 17 per cent from 115kph; the Renault Captur by 10 and 15 per cent respectively and reduced the stopping distance of the Peugeot Boxer by 12m and the Fiat Ducato by 16m.\u2028\u2028Federal-Mogul carefully considered and tested a blend of over 1500 raw materials in developing an optimised copper substitute. It is a pioneering technology that has become OE fitment with leading premium German vehicle manufactures, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted with the results of the test, which prove that the stopping power of Eco-Friction pads becomes enhanced at higher speeds and in heavier vehicles, and that using zero and low-copper materials protects road users and the environment alike.\u201d says Silvano Veglia Product Marketing Director Braking EMEA.\u2028\u2028As an endorsement of Federal-Mogul\u2019s advanced technology, Eco-Friction was awarded the prestigious Golden Trophy of the International Grand Prix of Automotive Innovation at the 2013 Equip Auto show in France, long before being launched to the aftermarket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
