Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation has published test results that show Ferodo Eco-Friction low and zero copper brake pads provide greater stopping power compared to competitors’ traditional, copper-based materials. The test was carried out by UK independent proving ground and research consultancy, MIRA. From 100kph, Eco-Friction brake pads are shown to improve the braking performance of a Mk6 Volkswagen Golf, Europe’s bestselling car, by 10 per cent, with similar equivocal results displayed across the passenger and light commercial vehicle sectors.
