The ModulT disc brake is the most lightweight and maintenance friendly disc brake on the market, offering low down times to the customer. It’s based on the second generation of Haldex’ successful disc brake, which was first introduced on the market in 2011 and has since then more than doubled in production every year.

Bo Annvik, President & CEO of Haldex: “We have successfully built on our world leading position for drum brakes and have gained a significant market share on disc brakes for trailers in Europe. The agreement with Daimler is one of several new wins on disc brakes that in combination are estimated to be worth 650 MSEK until 2017, as previously communicated in our interim report.

In Europe disc brakes are installed in approximately 75% of all new commercial vehicles, compared to 3% in North America where drum brakes are most common. The potential growth for disc brakes over time is remarkable and we will continue to invest in growing our market position on a global basis.”

Norbert Rehbein, General Manager of MB-TAS: “Mercedes-Benz TrailerAxleSystems has been manufacturing disc-braked trailer axles for more than 15 years. The cooperation for the development of the DCA L7 combines the innovative commercial vehicle know how of Haldex with the long-term expertise of Mercedes-Benz TrailerAxleSystems in the use of disc brakes.”
