Global Brake & Chassis Research and Development

Whether in the dyno lab or at the proving grounds, Affinia Global Brake & Chassis engineering teams continually raise the bar on performance and safety. From commercial fleets to the race track and city streets, each vehicle has its own unique braking needs. Global Brake & Chassis has developed the ideal braking formula for the optimal balance of performance and quietness even in the most demanding applications.  Brake engineers have developed a special formulation of Police brake systems designed to reduce overall cost per mile while maintaining peak performance levels at high temperatures.

Extensive design and engineering in the lab and on the race track have resulted in chassis components featuring advanced synthetic composite surfaces that reduce metal-to-metal contact, enhancing product life, performance and safety. Affinia chassis parts exhibit top-quality performance under the most strenuous conditions, consistently meeting or exceeding OE specifications.  

 

Racing provides an ideal R&D environment for Affinia Global Brake & Chassis. The expertise needed to create brake and chassis components for racing goes into the design and engineering of friction, rotors, calipers, ball joints, tie rod ends and steering knuckles for millions of vehicles on the street every day.
