Medium commercial vehicle disc brakes first appeared coincident with car disc brakes thirty years ago, but whereas the latter have now virtually eliminated drum brakes, medium commercial vehicle disc brakes promptly faded into obscurity, only to re-emerge over the past two or three years. The progression in the adoption of disc brakes for cars through the lower weight range C.V's to heavy C.V's is reviewed and the problems facing the friction material formulator in relation to the more severe commercial vehicle disc brake conditions of usage are discussed. The implications of asbestos substitution are reviewed.
