Additional information
The research builds on the results of a previous EPSRC grant GR/M43562/01. Together with Meritor HVBS, a credible working prototype has been developed, having only half the mass of the original design and doubling the brake cooling rate. Production applications are now being sought with commercial vehicle manufacturers. Contact: Paul Roberts, Chief Engineer, Meritor HVBS, paul.roberts@meritor.com.
