Despite 2020 being an unprecedented year for the global automotive industry, Delphi Technologies says its braking program has made great strides to become the first-mover supplier in Europe.
The brand recently announced two more first-to-market brake pad applications in its European braking program; front brake pads for the new Toyota Yaris Cross (09/2020>) and front brake pads for the Toyota Prius PHV (05/2019>).
The new applications join an already extensive list of first-to-market brake pad applications.
The total of first-to-market applications added in 2020 covers 24 models across 12 vehicle manufacturers – a company record for the aftermarket braking program.
