Expand Your Braking Universe

We’ve been designing and making OE disc brake systems for the world’s top vehicle manufacturers for over 100 years, and our coverage is unparalleled.

Our innovative and high-performing coatings for discs and pads are unique, developed by our own technicians, and tested on OEM-approved in-house testing software and hardware to ensure optimal safety and performance. Every brake pad and disc comes complete with all the necessary fittings in the box for quick, easy and safe repair.

Millions of TRW drums, shoes and wheel cylinders are fitted to passenger cars and LCVs around the world, and countless journeys are safely completed every day because of our dedication to industry-leading quality.

Drum brakes are a cost-effective solution for rear braking and are still fitted to many new vehicles. They are also the efficient choice for electric

vehicles.

Our vast portfolio covers everything needed for replacement and maintenance: drums, shoes, wheel cylinders – right through to springs, thermoclips and adjusters. We’ve also created a convenient range of kits and Superkits to save workshops time and money. And as you’d expect from TRW, every component meets or exceeds OE standards.

We test our brake pads to the extreme to meet industry standards. Then we test them harder to meet ours. TRW brake pads cut stopping distances by up to 7 metres during the bedding-in period, thanks to their unique COTEC coating.*

Every component of our aftermarket brake pad range is tested multiple times, including those crucial back plates that carry the friction material. So when you fit TRW, you’re not just providing great value, you’re also ensuring that your customers’ vehicle safety systems will perform at their best on the road every time.

Choosing TRW brake pads also means making a positive choice for the planet – we introduced one of the first environmentally-friendly brake pad programs for passenger cars in Europe, which means we never use harmful materials.

As industry-recognised global braking specialists, we produce over 12 million brake discs every year for vehicle manufacturers and the independent

aftermarket.

When you choose TRW brake discs, your customers benefit from proven OE quality, safety and durability. And as the smart business choice, they also save you time and frustration. Forget cleaning oil or rust inhibitor off TRW brake discs. We pack them in volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) paper, so you can put them to work straight out of the box. Our tight manufacturing tolerances guarantee a hassle-free fit. And our portfolio includes discs that are ready-assembled with mounted wheel bearings.

We created the Colette, now the world’s most popular brake caliper. And we developed the world’s first electronic park brake caliper (EPB). But innovation isn’t just about big ideas – it’s also about finding ways to solve your everyday challenges.

This is why all TRW’s OE quality calipers, including prestige and colour-painted, come complete with the accessories and instructions needed to fit them fast, first time. Our remanufactured calipers carry the same extended warranty as our new ones, helping to keep costs down, prevent obsolescence, and reduce both energy use and CO2 emissions. And we even pre-fill our rear brake calipers with brake fluid, to avoid trapped air and make life easier for you. Our innovation never stops.

Quieter engines need quieter brakes. Our innovative Electric Blue brake pads solve the noise, volume and harshness (NVH) challenges associated with electric and hybrid vehicles, reducing noise, vibration and dust emissions.

Our trailblazing technicians created an outstanding first-to-market solution that scores an exceptional 9/10 for NVH (the OE specification is only 7/10), and covers 100% of the top 20 electric vehicles on the road in Europe.

Expand your braking universe with TRW Electric Blue brake pads, supplied complete with fixings and rubberised accessories for noise dampening.

We’ve got the entire braking spectrum covered, making servicing and repairs easy and stress-free. We design braking systems for global vehicle manufacturers, so we know exactly what’s needed to keep them working smoothly, safely and powerfully.

TRW is continually pushing back the frontiers of braking technology, innovating to address the latest braking challenges for passenger cars of all kinds. For example, we developed TRW NOxidation as a protective barrier against corrosion that helps to reduce noise and vibration in electric and hybrid vehicles. Just one of many star innovations that continue to expand our vast portfolio.
