ZF Aftermarket is expanding its TRW brake disc product range, to include parts for the Tesla Model S and thus meet the needs of the growing electric market.
ZF estimates that by 2030, around one third of all vehicles produced globally will be electric or hybrid electric. To meet the needs of a growing emobility market, ZF Aftermarket is also continuously expanding its product portfolio. In
line with this, the TRW brake disc product range has been extended to include parts for the electric vehicle, Tesla Model S.
TRW branded brake discs for the Tesla Model S are manufactured using High Carbon Grey Cast Iron Material (GG15 HC). This allows the discs to run cooler, meaning they are less likely to distort and suffer from NVH problems such as hot judder and brake squeal. Component noise reduction is an extremely important aspect of part development for electric vehicles, as it significantly affects driver comfort.
