The technology for low-noise carbon friction materials<br />
developed by <strong>Miba</strong> Friction Group has proven particularly<br />
reliable. On the basis of this technology, the new generations<br />
of all-wheel drives in Europe and the US are being<br />
fitted with corresponding locking differential plates. Over<br />
the past year, <strong>Miba</strong> Friction Group introduced significant<br />
new developments in the field of wear-resistant wet<br />
running linings for synchronizers in passenger cars and<br />
commercial vehicles as well as for clutches of motorcycles. Additional main research was<br />
carried out in the field of high-performance brake linings for high-speed trains.<br />
Impressive proof of successful development activity has been furnished by the success<br />
of <strong>Miba</strong>’s friction materials in international racing. At the beginning of the year, Mitsubishi’s<br />
racing team won the Barcelona-Dakar desert rally using <strong>Miba</strong> Friction Group’s clutch<br />
linings.
