Trelleborg develops lightweight brake pedal

Trelleborg Automotive has launched an innovative lightweight hybrid brake pedal. Due to its advanced design, the pedal offers significant cost-saving benefits to car manufacturers, while also enabling considerable reductions in CO2 emissions.

Trelleborg Automotive's new hybrid brake pedal incorporates a design that blends glass fibre reinforced plastic and metal, a combination that delivers a weight saving of between 30% and 50% compared to traditional, metal brake pedals. The new pedal also enables cost-savings as a result of a more efficient production process. T: +44 7884 118661 E: info@trelleborg.com
