Haldex secures order worth SEK 1,000 million for Air Disc Brakes

Haldex has secured an order for a new design of Air Disc Brakes from
SAFHolland, a global manufacturer of trailer axles and suspension
systems.

The total order value is estimated to  approximately SEK 1,000 million
over a five year period. In addition the order will generate aftermarket
deliveries for many years to follow. Deliveries will start in 2011 and
the brakes will be manufactured in Haldex plant in Landskrona, Sweden

The new Air Disc Brake design, ModulT, is significantly lighter than a
conventional Air Disc Brake and provides the end user with a reliable
and robust design. The weight savings are up to 15% compared to current
designs which will allow a higher pay-load of the vehicle and thus have
a positive contribution to the environment.

Haldex CEO Joakim Olsson states “this is a major break through for our
Air Disc Brake product line where we have taken advantage of all the
experience from the existing disc brake model, which in combination with
new techniques allowed us to design a competitive brake for demanding
customers”.
