Fras-le North America Inc. has introduced its new Work Truck and Fleet Disc Brake Pad Program to the North American aftermarket.
The new program includes a complete line of hydraulic and air disc brake pads for Class 1-8 vehicles. Fras-le is an OE friction supplier on many medium-duty work trucks in the U.S., and has been Meritor’s heavy-duty friction partner for more than 15 years.
"Through marketplace research, Fras-le has recognized that medium-duty truck fleets are a greatly underserved market for aftermarket friction materials," said Zomar Oliveira, Fras-le North America’s director of operations. "This segment provides a growth opportunity for light vehicle distributors and retailers, and an extended market for heavy-duty friction product distributors."
According to Fras-le, the new Work Truck and Fleet Disc Brake Pad Program will provide distributors with a complete sales tool kit to serve this fleet segment, along with marketing and technical support and training resources. In addition, Fras-le has dedicated fleet brake specialists to serve as liaisons between fleets and distributors.
