40 SUPPLIERS ATR World Resource-saving and inexpensive repair option for the Electric Park Brake The TRW Electric Park Brake (EPB) has become standard equipment in years, causing increasing aftermarket most vehicle classes in recent demand. However, more and more car owners are looking for an affordable al- ternative to the complete replacement of the EPB brake caliper. ZF Aftermarket’s TRW brand now meets this need with the new actuator repair kit. Like many other comfort features, the Electric Park Brake was first established in the upper vehicle classes but is in- creasingly now being used in volume models. Its advantages are impressive: • Increased driver comfort; • Interior designers are given more freedom; and electric actuator can fail even if the me- chanical part of the brake caliper is still intact.

The kit consists of the electric actuator, two fastening screws and an O-ring, with which the EPB can be repaired in a short time and at low cost for the customer.
