Continental expands ATE disc brake pad line to cover over 95 percent of European vehicles

Key applications include Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, Range Rover, Renault, Saab, smart, Volkswagen, and Volvo

Allentown, Pa.—Continental has expanded its ATE Disc Brake Pad line to cover over 95 percent of European vehicles. The expansion brings the current line count to 293-part numbers that can deliver applications for servicing more than 104 million vehicles on the road in the U.S. and Canada.

Key applications for both semi-metallic and ceramic formulations include popular models from Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, Range Rover, Renault, Saab, smart, Volkswagen, and Volvo.

ATE Disc Brake Pads are formulated to strict OE friction specifications and built and tested to meet or exceed OE manufacturers’ quality standards. ATE engineers use more than 150 different friction formulations to ensure that the pads deliver the ideal braking solution for specific vehicle applications and provide full braking power instantly without fade, squeal, or judder.

They are engineered for low heat transmission to prevent pedal failure and are equipped with underlayers and noise damping sheets to minimize noise and provide a smooth operation.

“ATE aftermarket brake pads have set the standard for friction in Europe and around the globe,” said Nathan Killeen, product manager, ATE Brake Systems. “We subject our pads to over 50 rigorous tests to make certain that they not only meet OE manufacturers requirements, but also exceed our own more stringent safety and performance criteria.”
