• 100 percent asbestos-free friction formulations that ensure extended wear, consistent braking performance and long life
• Rust-prevention coating that enhances durability

“Bosch’s extensive OE knowledge and years of experience in the development of braking technology has been critical in helping us design our braking products to offer the same consistent and superior braking performance as OE,” said Mike Jaskae, product manager, braking products for Robert Bosch LLC.
Bosch brake shoes cover vehicles from 1942 to the current model year with 12 new parts introduced so far in 2013. Bosch brake shoes provide 98 percent coverage for vehicles in operation (VIO), with 577 SKUs for North America and 75 additional SKUs for specific applications for Latin America.
“This is just what you would expect from the world’s largest OE supplier of brake components and the company that brought groundbreaking technologies like Anti-Lock Brakes and Electronic Stability Control to market," said Jaskae. "One out of every three vehicles on the road in North America utilizes Bosch brake components, and Bosch brake shoes continue the Bosch tradition of excellence.”
