VALEO is currently developing a new type of brake for passenger cars and light trucks called Crown Brake. The Crown Brake is equivalent to a disc brake with a larger diameter, and where the friction surfaces have been curved into a cylindrical shape. This original concept confers to the Crown Brake all the advantages of a conventional disc brake and introduces two new key advantages: The useful brake radius is increased by 20 to 30 %. A similar increase in the heat dissipation areas, hence lower pad wear. Exhaustive testing has been conducted in cooperation with European manufacturers. Anticipated advantages have been confirmed.
