HELLA launch a complete braking portfolio

HELLA has launched a complete braking portfolio into the trade, marking a “significant expansion” for the brand after more than a decade of “braking success” across Europe.

The lineup includes pads and discs, as well as calipers, drums and shoes, master and wheel cylinders, and wear indicators, and is complemented by HELLA electronics, such as brake-by-wire pedals and ABS sensors.

HELLA has revealed that its brake pads are engineered to OE standards, using over 200 friction material components. Constructed with powder-coated steel backplates and high-shear adhesive, they feature application-specific chamfers and noise grooves. With over 40 test vehicles covering nearly 200,000 miles annually, HELLA’s pads are engineered for safety, performance and reliability.

Discs are also built to OE standards, using high carbon content for heat dissipation and reduced brake fade where required. A water-based coating protects against corrosion and removes the need for cleaning before fitment. All discs carry ECE R90 approval.

Calipers are new units that are bench tested and ready to install, with no surcharge or core return required. Each unit includes essential mounting hardware.

Approximately 6,000 part numbers are already available, and HELLA has confirmed that number will extend to 9,000 in the future.
