7th December 2009 - United States Postal Service Now Using Precision Fleet Brake Components

Precision Fleet Brakes announces it has signed an agreement with Canam, the official supplier of high quality engineered products for the United States Postal Service, to provide its cryogenically processed rotors for use on the postal services’ fleet of LLV delivery vehicles. Precision Fleet Brakes will be one of only two manufacturers to supply brake rotors and friction to the United States Postal Service.

“Before making their decision, the United States Post Office extensively tested our cryogenic brake components as well as several other suppliers’ products at Greening Test Laboratories, and found that our rotors scored significantly higher than the competitive products on tests for brutal braking, environmental wear and noise,” said Zane McCarthy, president and CEO of Precision Fleet Brakes.

Cryogenic brake technology is a revolutionary way to treat brake rotors through the use of very low temperatures. Cryogenically processed brake components have an extended life of up to four times longer than original equipment.

“Precision’s cryogenic brake components will keep the U.S. Postal Service’s fleet of vehicles on the road longer between brake jobs, which translates into reduced downtime and considerable cost-savings,” concluded McCarthy.

Precision Fleet Brakes brake components are subjected to extensive independent lab and road performance testing. They conform to or exceed the material specs of SAE J431 and SAE G3000.
