Maintaining Trucks * Australia - New brake technology to cut operating costs
Melbourne,Victoria,AUST -ATN -20 April 2009: -- The cost of maintaining truck fleets may soon be slashed, with a Victorian company being awarded $64,000 to develop a device which reduces the wear in truck braking systems... Martin James will receive the grant under the Federal Government’s Commercialising Emerging Technologies (COMET) scheme to introduce its ‘torque diverter’ system nationwide... The system works by stabilising the brake calliper, thereby spreading the wear and tear more evenly on disc rotors and pads. Torque, or braking force, is also diverted to the axle... The invention is expected to allow operators to save the money spent on replacing truck brakes every year...
