First there was the power break, then the power tie, then the power lunch. Or was it the other way around? HOT ROD's version of power braking ain't no yuppie scum deal, it's about snatching a ...

This isn't a test mule for the Golf GTD. We wish it was, but Volkswagen is actually the first manufacturer to start testing a brake dust collection unit which could make our world a slightly cleaner ...

New compositions for brake pad materials have been driven by environmental regulations and the need for enhanced braking systems. Studies on the impact of different materials on the durability, ...

Using a full-scale dynamometer for the testing of friction materials for brake applications is a cost- and time-intensive method as it requires the rotor and brake pads to be in their final form ...

Goodrich announced its electric brake system has completed all required dedicated flight test conditions, incorporating the latest iteration of its Duracarb carbon heat sink material. The braking ...
