DAF Genuine Brake Pads

Your Brakes. Everyone’s Safety. 
DAF Genuine Brake Pads.

Braking safely within the distance is essential Choosing the right brake pad is therefore a key decision. DAF Genuine Brake Pads are designed for maximum performance and the highest levels of safety. Moreover, they meet the most stringent environmental standards for brake dus emissions.

The all-new DAF SYNACT® Brake System

Our new SYNACT® Brake System incorporates new patented brake pad sets, a completely re-designed (and 3.5 kg lighter) brake calliper, and a spring with a more efficient calliper release system. The system has been thoroughly tested and exceeds current European safety and environmental standards. It is also in line to comply with future European standards on brake pad fine particle emissions.

DAF Active Caliper Release (ACR) system

With many of the current brake systems on the market, over time the brake pad will start to rub against the brake disc, even without braking. This results in unnecessary wear of both brake pad and brake disc, leading to unexpected downtime. With the DAF Active Calliper Release (ACR) system, after each braking moment the brake pad always automatically returns to its original position, away from the brake disc. This results in less brake pad wear, less brake disc wear and increased fuel efficiency. And ensures your truck stays out on the road instead of in the workshop.  

It's easy to think that purchasing a cheaper, generic brake pad set will save money, but this is not always the case. We see trucks arriving in service workshops with worn brake pads, sometimes before the planned maintenance schedule. This then gives truck owners and operators an increase in vehicle downtime and unexpected costs. Also, every truck application has different braking requirements. Choosing the same generic brake pad set for different applications in some cases can compromise performance and service life. At DAF we offer specific brake pad sets that are 100% tailored to each Truck application, ensuring they work optimally over their extensive maintenance-free service life.

Why DAF makes the difference

DAF Genuine Brake Pads are specially developed to meet DAF’s high performance standards and are tested under the most stringent real-life road conditions. They ensure the best braking performance and safety. In addition, they create extremely low levels of brake dust, making them future-ready for the forthcoming European regulations on fine particulates from brake pads.

A DAF Genuine Brake Pad Set stands out from generic brake pad sets in a number of ways. It incorporates unique friction material, a reinforced steel backplate, and the patented ACR system. Benefits include extra heat resistance, excellent heat transfer, and fewer heat cracks in the brake disc.
