§ Hamburg-based manufacturer supplies brake discs and pads
Hamburg, 18 March 2015.
Committed to Truck Racing, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG has renewed its
technological partnership with the "tankpool24" and "CEPSA" racing teams
and also supplies both crews with high-performance brake disc and pads.
Under
the MEYLE brand Wulf Gaertner Autoparts markets a comprehensive range
of commercial vehicle repair solutions including parts from the steering
& chassis, cooling and brakes product groups. Commercial vehicle
brakes are exposed to high levels of stress – even more so when used on
race trucks competing in professional motor sport series such as the FIA
European Truck Racing Championship. The
truck needs to brake sharply whenever it approaches a bend,
decelerating from approximately 160km/h to about 40 to 50km/h, which
causes the brakes to hit extreme temperatures within seconds. "MEYLE
brake discs are designed to distribute heat effectively, thereby
ensuring that braking performance remains at a constant high level
throughout the disc's service life", says Sven Nielsen, Technical
Director at Wulf Gaertner Autoparts. "The MEYLE brake discs and pads
which we supply perform reliably under the most demanding operating
conditions – daily proof of their excellent quality."
As
a technological partner of both racing teams Wulf Gaertner Autoparts'
engineers maintain an on-going dialogue with the teams' technicians,
continually scrutinising and evaluating MEYLE part performance under
race conditions. "The findings are fed back directly into the MEYLE
brake development process", says Nielsen, thus emphasizing that both
technology partners benefit greatly from knowledge transfer.
