Product Development
-The Company announces that it developed a new front disc brake and a new generation of motor on caliper electric parking brake. Both products are adopted for Toyota Motor Corporation’s Camry. The newly developed front disc brake stabilized piston operation within caliper and improved brake feeling. Advics also renovated fin’s shapes of disc rotors, greatly improved cooling capability, and reconsidered caliper’s shape, which led to a 6% weight saving compared to the last generation vehicles. The new generation of motor on caliper electric parking brake adopted original gear shaft maintaining system and saved a 5 % operating sound compared to the last generation, which realized the highest level of quietness in the world.
