FERODO Premier brake pads achieved average stopping distances
up to a remarkable 23 metres earlier than a leading competitor. |
|
 |
| For once we’re glad our competitors have left us
behind. In recent AMS brake fade tests involving repeated stops
from the equivalent of 100km/h, proof positive that when it comes to safety, you can trust the First Name in
Brakes ahead of everything else. |

The AMS fade test is an industry standard specified by QEM’s and acknowledged by
all leading friction manufacturers. The test described was performed under
controlled conditions at Federal Mogul’s UK testing facility and complies with ISO/QS
standards.
The test replicates ten successive stops from 100-to-0 km/h, resulting in an
average co-efficient of friction, which was then extrapolated into a comparative stopping
distance.
Stopping distances should not be interpreted to those that would be achieved
under normal driving conditions where driver ability and variation in road conditions could
result in significantly extended distances. |
FACTS
During AMS fade simulation tests* , FERODO Premier
was the only pad to maintain a consistently high level
of braking performance
In the safety critical 100-0km/h test, Premier pads
stopped the vehicle up to 23 metres earlier than 2 leading competitors
Ferodo Premier comes first in tests using a combination of
over 50 friction materials to match OE specification - all FERODO
pads are Regulation 90 compliant
*Figures obtained from AMS fade simulation test (T003567)
based on averaged data collected over 10 individual stops
performed on a dynamometer rigged to replicate a Ford Focus
fitted with OE discs and FERODO Premier pads and pads from
2 leading European competitors.
