  • Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade for General Motors Suvs and Trucks Tested and Validated to Perform at Their Best
    Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade for General Motors SUVs and Trucks tested and validated to perform at their best Brembo brake packages for Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade and Escalade ESV exclusively distributed through GM dealers and authorized retailers DETROIT, (October xx, 2019) – Brembo, the world leader and acknowledged innovator of brake technology, together with General Motors Performance Engineering designed, tested and engineered a Performance Brake Upgrade System for the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and the GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade for on and off-road performance. The Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade System is designed for quiet, consistent operation on the street, as well as dependable and robust stopping when working or towing. Design challenges GM challenged the Brembo team to design a 6-piston caliper that would fit within 20 different wheel profiles, allowing the customer to add this bold 6-Piston Performance Brake Upgrade System in combination with a wide variety of GM production and GM Accessory wheels. In order to achieve this goal, Brembo developed a unique compact fixed aluminum, six-piston caliper. Using a disc significantly larger than production also presented several technical challenges, particularly for cooling, which required several iterations of disc geometry, for both the ventilation and the center bell design. "Production brake systems today are more sophisticated than ever and our Performance Brake Upgrade had to meet the same stringent requirements,"

    CHINA Deals on Wheels Great Wall’s Haval H2 has been met with strong demand Domestic brands attempt turnaround One trend we didn’t forecast . Two trends we forecast at the outset of 2013 – strong demand for premium cars and SUVs – have played out as expected. One we did not identify has been the implosion in market share of the domestic brands. This month we take a closer look at who has been winning and losing market share among the domestic brands and by model and the impact on discounting. Our proprietary dealer survey shows that while the domestic OEMs have selectively cut prices on some models, discounting has not escalated. Hopeful of new models reversing the trend Source: Macquarie Research, August 2014 . All four domestic brands in our survey – Great Wall, Geely, BYD and Chery – have lost share this year, with Geely and BYD suffering the biggest losses. Great Wall and Geely are both looking for better performance in 2H helped by Inside new models. We see Great Wall as the best positioned as its new models are focused on the popular SUV segment, which is likely to continue to out-pace Domestic brands attempt turnaround 2 the market.
