Original Aftermarket Leader
As part of ZF Aftermarket, every TRW True Originals part is built to meet the highest standards. Backed by a global network of original aftermarket experts, TRW True Originals products set benchmarks for safety and quality. The TRW range of shock absorbers consists of the latest shock absorber technology and relied on tried and tested processes.
They go through low and high-velocity testing schedules, endurance checks, verification of damping and dimensions, and testing in the harshest of weather conditions and road conditions. All TRW shocks deliver a premium level of enhanced safety and performance.
TRW brake pads offer unparalleled safety
TRW True Originals brake pads are innovatively designed and rigorously tested using class-leading techniques to guarantee the very best in braking system safety. These brake pads offer real expert protection by incorporating the latest technology to ensure the highest standard of safety and performance in every vehicle. The back plates of TRW True Originals brake pads are made from high-quality steel and are powdercoated for rust inhibition. The advanced friction material is ECE R90 certified and is in use around the world in Europe, and the Middle East for over 15 years; a true testament to its durability. These brake pads further ZF’s sustainability narrative as the product is free from harmful materials, while its production requires less energy and reduces CO2 emissions by using advanced heat plates rather than traditional flame scorching.
TRW brake discs deliver braking safety, performance, and value to OE standards, and better. TRW True Originals brake discs are leading in the business, offering high-quality, reliable performance that the mobility user can trust. TRW True Originals provide great value and ensure that the vehicle safety systems will perform at their best on the road every time. With over a century of experience in designing and manufacturing OE braking systems for vehicle manufacturers, these brake discs are produced to precise manufacturing tolerances to ensure zero fitment issues in the field. These brake discs are compliant with all advanced standards for quality, reliability, and safety.
Markus Wittig, Senior Vice President, ZF Aftermarket Business Line Passenger Car (IAM/OES), emphasizes,“With the introduction of the TRW product range, we offer now unparalleled safety and comfort to mobility users in India.
