By Categories: Commercial NewsPublished On: Wednesday 7 December 2016

Braking components manufacturer Mintex has announced a January launch for its new Mintex Van Kit, which it says provides a one-stop brake service solution for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

The Mintex Van Kit comprises a full axle set including pads, discs, handbrake shoes, all accessory kits and wear leads, where applicable, and a sachet of Ceratec all within one box.

Specially engineered for LCV applications, the product aims to save fleet operators and garages time and money, says Mintex, as well as providing improved convenience for LCV brake part purchasing.

Exclusive to Mintex, all kits include specific friction for light commercial vehicles, said to withstand high temperatures and excessive wear.

“This innovation makes the pads ideal for light commercial vehicles, which are on the road for long periods of time,” said the manufacturer.

“The material’s improved integrity and added longevity lessens the need to change pads between service intervals, ultimately, saving money for fleet owners and drivers.”

Mintex, which is part of OE technology specialist TMD Friction, cites the manufacturer’s extensive innovation, research and development and rigorous testing as key benefits of its offering.

Richard Barton, CV product manager for TMD Friction, said: “Following feedback from our customers, we have developed the Mintex Van Kit that will make it much simpler when buying brake parts for light commercial vehicles. The kit is not only more convenient for fleet operators and garages, but is also much more cost effective.

“The new Mintex Van kits will be rolled out in January and can be purchased from your local CV factor.”
