Bosch invites you to experience the difference

Bosch says its QuietCast brake pads sees industry-leading technology meet unparalleled performance, representing Bosch’s enduring legacy of automotive excellence and innovation.

Zirconia coating: reduced wear and extended life
Bosch explains that at the heart of QuietCast brake pads’ superiority lies its Zirconia coating, a cutting-edge feature designed to reduce wear and extend the lifespan of the brake pads and rotors.
This innovative zirconia coating is completely transfered to the surface of the rotor and protects the brake pad and rotor from excessive wear, leading to enhanced disc recovery and prolonged durability.
With QuietCast brake pads, Bosch says drivers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their brake pads are engineered for longevity and reliability.

Premium shims: premium shims supporting silent operation
In addition to the Zirconia coating, QuietCast brake pads come equipped with premium shims, further enhancing their silent operation.
Bosch says these high-quality shims not only minimise noise but also provide increased strength, ensuring optimal performance under various driving conditions.

Ceramic material, copper free, and convenient installation
QuietCast brake pads incorporate the latest Ceramic friction formulations to deliver class-leading performance and reliability, says Bosch.
The company explains that the copper free brake pads outperform the last generation friction materials they replace with better stopping power, fade resistance, pad life, and noise suppression.
Furthermore, QuietCast brake pads are packaged with all necessary accessories in the box, simplifying the installation process and saving time for the workshop.
With an expanded range that caters to a diverse array of vehicles, QuietCast brake pads continue to uphold Bosch’s commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

Development and manufacturing
The development of QuietCast brake pads represents a significant milestone in Bosch’s storied history of brake system innovation, leveraging decades of automotive expertise.
QuietCast brake pads are manufactured and designed in Bosch’s own brake pad manufacturing plant.
Bosch says in-house developed friction allows a selection of formulations based on OE performance requirements to exceed key regulations such as ECR90.
During development, extensive performance and NVH dynamometer testing along with extreme environment testing ensures Bosch QuietCast brake pads demonstrate a high level of performance and service life before they are approved for sale.
Additionally, Bosch QuietCast brake pads are vehicle match engineered to determine the best match of advanced Ceramic friction formulations.

THE COMPLETE MAINTENANCE-FREE SOLUTION FROM BOSCH

With more than 120 years of battery experience, Bosch says it knows a thing or two about having the right product for motorists

To meet the ever increasing energy demands of today’s vehicles, Bosch has a comprehensive line-up of maintenance-free batteries, including the SM Mega Power Plus and ST Hightec range (EFB and AGM).
In addition, it says its AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) range of batteries features some of the latest in battery development and technologies, ensuring peak power for the very best in performance.
Together with its global network of engineers and manufacturing centres, Bosch says it continues to be at the forefront of providing products suitable for today’s vehicles, including those requiring start-stop technology.

SM Mega Power Plus: for longer life with extra power
Bosch says the SM Mega Power Plus is a superior option for absolute dependability.
It has been developed to exceed the demands of the growing medium-sized vehicle sector and the prevalence of advanced equipment it has introduced.
The SM Mega Power Plus covers outputs such as multimedia players, parking distance control, lane change warnings and active suspension, and its further improved service life is supported by an increased warranty for optimal customer peace of mind.
Bosch says the SM Mega Power Plus is the perfect match for new vehicle technology or the customers who “just want more.”
Key features include:
• Long service life.
• Optimal performance for maximum current flow and high cranking power.
• Excellent safety and recyclability through innovative container material.
• Completely sealed and maintenance free.

ST Hightec EFB: an innovator in Start-Stop technologies
Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) are built for higher performance and reliability than standard flooded batteries, says Bosch, which states these batteries are designed to support standard Start-Stop engines which put greater demands on the battery.
Even for non-Start-Stop vehicles, Bosch says the EFB can also be fitted to enhance starting performance and meet the ever increasing electrical demands of modern vehicles.
The EFB provides increased cyclic stability, enabling faster recovery from deep discharges. In a Start-Stop vehicle, the EFB maintains power supply to the electrical devices when the engine shuts off, and is able to restart in a fraction of a second.
Key features include:
• Built for high performance and reliability, even under extreme conditions.
• High density active material and optimised particle size for extra-long service life.
• Optimised negative grid alloy retards corrosion and prolongs battery life during high depth of discharge cycling.

ST Hightec AGM: for optimum Start-Stop technology
Bosch explains that AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology is one of the top battery technologies in the market today with dynamic recharging capability and up to four times the number of discharge/charge cycles compared to conventional starter batteries, meeting the toughest requirements.
Bosch says this is a must for Start-Stop systems with brake energy recuperation, but also for vehicles with a high number of electrical convenience functions.
The trend towards fuel savings and emission reductions has popularised Stop-Start vehicles, says Bosch, which lists the features of the ST Hightec AGM as follows:
• Extra-long service life
• Double labyrinth lid construction to prevent water loss
• 100 percent leakage proof with AGM technology.
• High charge acceptance.
