Brembo unveils Greenance Brake Kit
The new Greenance Brake Kit from Brembo is claimed to reduce light commercial vehicle particulate emissions by more than 80%, while lasting up to three times longer than competitor equivalents.
The result is said to be a lower total cost of ownership that drops on average by 15%, combined with top braking performance.
Deriving its name from a merger of the words ‘green’ and ‘performance’, the company says that the Greenance Kit is an eco-friendly solution that anticipates low environmental impact requirements; and matches both customer expectations and environmental awareness without compromising on required braking performance.
This green performance is a result of a much lower environmental impact during braking, with a significant reduction in particulate emissions: -83% in PM10 and -80% in PM2.5.
The increased durability of the brake discs also triples their expected lifetime. Providing extended mileage, this also ostensibly delivers a significant improvement in terms of the total cost of ownership of vehicles amounting to an average reduction of 15%.
The Greenance Kit features a jointly developed range of new combined innovative alloy discs and newly engineered brake pads, enhancing the company’s aftermarket line-up. This is derived from the company’s heritage and experience motorsports and the OE sector.
ECE-R90 pass
The kits have already passed the ECE-R90 homologation tests as well as “severe” benchmark road tests, conducted by the company’s technicians.
Brembo’s Greenance Kit is now available on the market for the most popular light commercial vehicle models, such as the Citroën Jumper, Fiat Ducato and Talento, Ford Transit, Iveco Daily, Mercedes Vito and Sprinter, Nissan NV 300 and 400, Opel Movano and Vivaro, Peugeot Expert, Renault Master and Traffic, as well as the VW Crafter and Transporter.
