ZF Aftermarket India Introduces TRW DTEC Brake Pads

ZF Aftermarket India introduces the TRW DTEC brake pads to the Indian market, reinforcing its commitment to advanced mobility solutions. DTEC stands for “low dust technology,” featuring a specialized friction lining with a high quality ceramic compound that significantly reduces brake dust accumulation on rims. This advanced material not only enhances vehicle aesthetics but also reduces the need for frequent cleaning – saving water and limiting chemical usage, an important step toward sustainable automotive practices.

By combining eco-friendly maintenance with uncompromised safety, TRW DTEC supports ZF’s vision for sustainable mobility. These brake pads deliver cost efficiency, resource savings and superior performance, ensuring a cleaner, quieter, and safer driving experience. Made to fit the rugged Indian roads, TRW DTEC sets a new benchmark for quality and reliability in braking technology.

Our expanded TRW braking portfolio, including the new DTEC pads, is designed to make that job easier. Beyond premium components, we offer a comprehensive ecosystem – technical training, expert service support, and dependable parts that enable workshops to confidently say ‘yes’ to any braking repair. Our commitment is to partner with customers, maximize vehicle uptime, and drive long term success across the aftermarket.”
