Valeo Service has launched a campaign focusing on the key benefits of its commercial vehicle clutch friction material.

The campaign focuses on two main products. Valeo F510 is a robust solution ideal for manual heavy duty applications and limits the Total Cost of Ownership. Valeo says the material is the standard friction material used on clutch kits of manual transmission with outstanding friction coefficient and thermal resistance, best-in-class fade resistance, and excellent wear behaviour with limited loss of clutch driven plate thickness.

Secondly, Valeo F830 is Valeo’s smart choice for robotised transmission as it offers significant reduction of the judder effect and high burst strength. The material is the perfect solution to provide the maximum of driving comfort without compromising total cost of ownership factors.

Both friction materials are lead-free, organic solvent free and aramid free. Valeo F510 and F830 are complemented with state-of-the art damper capacity and associated with tailored cover assembly and release bearings, providing fleet operators significant maintenance gains, as well as increased durability and reliability.

Valeo’s facings offer is developed according to truck, bus and coach requirements, including manual or robotised gearboxes environments with either medium or heavy load, in distribution, long haulage, construction or refuse usages, for city or intercity buses and coaches.
