Transferring passenger vehicle friction expertise to heavy-duty fleets, FORVIA HELLA introduces a global lineup of commercial truck, bus, and trailer brake pads.
Automotive supplier FORVIA HELLA has announced the global launch of its first commercial vehicle brake pad lineup, expanding its aftermarket product portfolio to support heavy-duty transport applications. Premiering to trade professionals at Automechanika Frankfurt, the commercial braking products are now available worldwide.
For commercial fleet operators, parts distributors, and independent heavy-duty repair shops, the product launch expands supply options across major transport nameplates. The initial program offering includes:
- Catalog & Market Coverage: 58 initial part references engineered for high-volume commercial truck, bus, and trailer applications.
- Thermal & Mechanical Durability: Application-matched friction formulations engineered for heavy payload stress and extended wear life.
- Certification & Accessories: Full compliance with international safety standards including ECE R90, packaged with application-specific installation hardware where required.
Dr. Marcel Wiedmann, Head of Global Aftermarket at FORVIA HELLA, noted that the expansion builds upon the company's standalone braking program launched in 2024, directly extending its friction expertise into commercial transport markets.
