Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• The price premium on air operated truck disc brakes will almost disappear over the next few years as manu facturing techniques improve and volumes increase, says Lucas.

It is already planning to increase production of the D3 disc brake at its Cwmbran factory for a £20m deal with MAN to equip the F2000 range.

Lucas says improved braking performance and stability and the reduction in brake fade and running costs are reasons for the growing popularity of front discs. It plans to triple the current production of 40,000 air-operated discs per year and claims half the available European market in all types of truck brakes.
