PowerStop for Fleet Operators

This program has just launched and is gaining traction rapidly in the U.S.

PowerStop gives Fleet Operators a brake with Z36 and Z47 brake pad and rotor solutions for last mile and medium duty vehicle applications. It is already disrupting the medium duty/last mile market with differentiated friction offerings than what fleet managers purchase currently.

PowerStop (powerstop.com/fleet), a leader in brake solutions since 1995, is pleased to introduce Z47 Medium Duty & Fleet brake pads to its lineup of products for the Class 4 to 7 hydraulic brake vehicle market. This product adds to its already successful Z36 brake pads that many last mile fleets have found gives them a “break” on how often they must complete a brake job. Gordon Virginski, who recently joined PowerStop as their new National Sales Manager, Fleet Solutions had this to say: “We are not just another brake supplier, as we supply a brake solution.” PowerStop understands the challenges fleet managers face by offering durable solutions to ensure low cost-per-mile and maximize vehicle uptime.

Virginski also notes, “our newest product, Z47 Medium Duty & Fleet brake pad, is Carbon-Fiber Semi-Metallic and designed to give the proper performance and ROI for vehicles running full gross vehicle weight on a daily basis such as delivery, shuttle bus, ambulance/fire rescue, utility companies, and many others. This product, along with our Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, gives last mile and normal duty medium duty fleets a complete product offering to reduce overall operating costs.”
