AMERICAN truck builder Mack has awarded a contract for the supply of disc brake pads to Mintex Ltd, of Cleckheaton, Yorkshire.
New Federal Government braking regulations in the USA have compelled manufacturers of heavy vehicles to consider alternative braking systems. The change to disc brakes made by the American company is a direct result of these requirements and M will be the first major ra of American trucks over tons to be so fitted.
The contract, calling the supply of Mintex M disc brake pads, follows years of intensive s; efforts by the Yorks] company. Five other tr manufacturers are said to making tests on Mir M170.
