The introduction of the paper catalogue, which relies on the latest TecDoc data, focuses on the popular marques and models that make up a large percentage of the European HCV parc, TRW says.

Examples of coverage include models across the following vehicle manufacturers: Bova, DAF, Iveco, MAN, MB, Neoplan, Renault Trucks, Scania and Volvo. Also included are axle manufacturers such as: BPW, MB, Meritor, SAF and SMB, as well as many trailer applications.

Particular references of interest include: DAF 45-95; Iveco Eurocargo and Stralis; MAN E, F, L, M, TGA; TGL and TGM-series, Mercedes Benz Actros, and Atego; Renault Trucks Magnum, Midliner, and Midlum; Scania 4-series and Volvo F-series.

The catalogue is divided into four sections: glossary and information; application; full buyers guide and OE and industry recognised WVA cross references. Also included are detailed line drawings of brake pads and photographs of wear sensors for easy identification. The publication is multi-lingual, comprising 25 languages to cater for TRW’s customers across the whole of Europe.

TRW’s UK sales & marketing director, HCV, James O’Gara, explained: “With the backing of TRW’s engineering excellence and manufacturing experience, the TRW Proequip brand is an ever growing force within the European HCV arena.

“By manufacturing our HCV pads in-house at our own dedicated facilities in Madrid, Spain and testing them to the extreme in laboratory and real life situations, we are able to retain a unique level of quality control. This in turn allows us to offer the safest and most durable parts possible.”
