In another<\/a>, we reviewed a report from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety to reinforce their superior safety record. And in each of those discussions we also reinforced how that information relates to increased uptime, extended brake life cycle and driver comfort \u2013 all important issues to OEMs and fleet operators when they\u2019re considering the balance between value and performance in making braking system decisions.[\/vc_column_text]\n

Data from studies and reports is helpful and offers insight, but how does that data translate to the reality of miles driven on the road? That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to look at now.<\/p>\n

How can we speak with such authority about the advantages of ADB systems?<\/h2>[vc_column_text]How can we speak with such authority about the advantages of ADB systems?

More than 50 commercial trucks<\/strong>, representing nine fleets<\/strong> as well as OEM test trucks<\/strong>, equipped with MAXXUS 2.0 (13) or MAXXUS L2.0 (43) have already been put to the test over 7.5 million miles<\/strong> in the U.S., and an additional 1 million outside the U.S.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The test vehicles include both 4×2 and 6×4 configurations, as well as drum-to-disc and disc-to-disc retrofits; and each one is subject to 156 unique measurements per vehicle inspection.
