DISCOVER HOW FERODO® BRAKE PADS PERFORM

At Ferodo®, we continuously expand our offer to maintain outstanding coverage for the aftermarket. Developing our top-of-the-range brake pads & discs always starts with intensive R&D, material testing, Dynamometer testing, and on-track testing.

FERODO® Brake Pads’ stopping power, stability, fitting efficiency, noise performance, durability and dust emission are developed to perform the best in the market. In order to preserve this prime position FERODO® pads are constantly put to the test against other premium brake pad suppliers in our own R&D facilities in Chapel-en-le-Frith (UK) and Barcelona (ES).

FERODO® brake pads are suitable for use on Petrol, Diesel, Electric and Hybrid cars

We constantly evaluate FERODO’s® brake pads and compare their performance with other premium brake pad competitors.  Therefore, we run a series of tests in the controlled environment of our R&D centres in Europe. Industry standard tests and beyond are conducted by means of intensive dynamometer, track and road vehicle tests on popular and widely used brake pads shapes.

Throughout more than 100 years of testing, FERODO® gathered a wealth of data and expertise to build the next generation of brake pads for everyday cars.

Dust generation test results

Dyno test performed following “White Peak” durability sequence. The lower the value, the lower the dust generated by the brake pads.

The new Euro 7 emission standard proposals will ensure that cars, vans, lorries and buses are much cleaner, in real driving conditions that better reflect the situation in cities where air pollution problems are largest, and for a much longer period than under current rules.

The proposal tackles emissions from tailpipes as well as from brakes and tyres. It also contributes to achieving the new stricter air quality standards proposed by the European Commission on 26 October 2022. Euro 7 standards rules will be the first worldwide emission standards to move beyond regulating exhaust pipe emissions and set additional limits for particulate emissions from brakes and rules on microplastic emissions from tyres. These rules will apply to all vehicles, including electric ones.

Euro 6 engines, EHV cars, and future Euro7 norms will contribute to the sustainability of vehicles and transport. Although unspecified today, Euro7 norms will most likely put requirements on brake dust as well. Today FERODO® brakes already outperform competitors when it comes to brake dust.
