Next day UK delivery for TRW's DTEC Brake Pads

TRW Automotive Aftermarket is celebrating the New Year with the news that its innovative DTEC brake pads – offering 100 percent performance with 45 percent less dust – are in such demand across the UK that they are now available via overnight delivery service from Wrexham.

Included in the range of 106 part numbers available are the following popular marques and models: Audi A3; Ford Focus; Volkswagen Passat and BMW 3 series.

DTEC, standing for ‘Dust-reducing Technology’, was introduced at Automechanika 2014 in Frankfurt and TRW’s offer of ‘cleaner wheels without compromise’ has been welcomed across Europe.

TRW’s UK marketing manager, Kevin Price, explained: “As the leading global supplier of Corner Module parts and systems, we firmly believe that automotive safety should never be compromised. DTEC eliminates the choice drivers traditionally had to make between the high performance of (low) metallic friction material, and the low dust of a ceramic formulation, by offering both.”

Manufactured by TRW using a premium friction formulation developed in-house, DTEC brake pads meet exacting industry standards, are aesthetically appealing with a TRW red shim and are in line with TRW’s key focus on ‘Greener Thinking’.

The initial range consists of a select number of applications to suit high end vehicles. In line with TRW’s goal of offering the safest, most affordable parts to a global market, the plan is to manufacture TRW’s 150 top moving pads from DTEC formulation during 2015, covering 75 per cent of the European car parc
