NRS brake pad features to face winter weather challenges

NRS brake pad features to face winter weather challenges

Proper braking system operation is always important, especially when snow and ice can present poor driving conditions. Brake pad corrosion is both a safety issue and a cost liability. Ahead of winter weather, NRS noted several key replacement brake pad features that are important to ensure optimal braking performance.

Corrosion resistance

The use of galvanized steel in NRS galvanized steel brake pads helps prevent rust and corrosion from occurring, thus extending the brake pad’s life. Additionally, the use of protected steel will allow the friction to wear down completely before any chance of separation occurs.

Mechanical attachment

The NRS-patented mechanical brake pad attachment ensures that the engineered layers of the brake pad do not separate over time. The innovative NRS-patented mechanical brake pad attachment ensures that the engineered layers of the brake pad do not separate over time or crumble from corrosion.

Environmentally sensitive

NRS galvanized brake pads employ semi-metallic and copper-free materials that dissipate heat and cool efficiently, resulting in less brake dust.

Quiet braking

NRS piston cushion insert is designed to help reduce the noise level by up to 90%, says the manufacturer. The NRS Piston Cushion Insert acts as a barrier to minimize heat transfer to brake fluids, thus reducing brake noise.

The latest forecasts from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research found that global EV sales are expected to grow by 21% in 2024 and 19% in 2025. This represents a significant decline from growth rates of 31% in 2023 and 60% in 2022, ABI Research said.

"A shortage of chargers and limited ranges are not to blame for this decline. It's evident from sales data and statements by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that the EV market is slowing down and failing to meet its targets," Dylan Khoo, an electric vehicles industry analyst, said. "While insufficient charging infrastructure and range limitations are often cited as reasons for this slowdown, they don't fully explain the stagnation, especially considering that these aspects are actually improving rather than deteriorating. Additionally, these explanations fail to consider the region-specific trends driving the EV sector changes."
