The product range is specifically positioned to serve both conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and the rapidly growing new energy vehicle (NEV) segment, including electric vehicles (EVs), plug‑in hybrids (PHEVs), and other electrified powertrains. With features including noise reduction technology, comfortable pedal feel, and environmentally responsible material choices, this pad offers a comprehensive braking solution for the evolving automotive landscape.
The Rise of New Energy Vehicles and the Changing Brake Pad Requirements
How NEVs Differ from Conventional Vehicles
New energy vehicles—EVs, PHEVs, and hybrids—have fundamentally different braking system characteristics.
They utilise regenerative braking, where the electric motor acts as a generator to slow the vehicle and recover energy.
Regenerative braking handles a significant portion of the vehicle's deceleration, reducing the workload on the friction brakes.
The friction brakes are used less frequently and at lower temperatures than in conventional vehicles.
What This Means for Brake Pads
Less frequent use – Pads may last longer in NEVs, but they must remain effective when called upon.
Lower operating temperatures – Pads must perform well at lower temperatures, as they are not heated as regularly.
Corrosion risk – Because the pads are used less frequently, moisture and corrosion can become a concern.
Noise sensitivity – NEVs are significantly quieter than ICE vehicles, making brake noise more noticeable and more objectionable.
Dust concerns – The clean, quiet image of NEVs means low‑dust pads are increasingly preferred.
Why Material Selection Matters for NEVs
The right pad material can deliver quiet, low‑dust performance while maintaining effective braking when needed.
Ceramic and ceramic copper‑free formulations are particularly well‑suited to NEV applications.
Environment‑friendly pads align with the sustainability values of many NEV owners.
OE#1610104080 – Precision Matching for Front Axle Applications
The OE reference number 1610104080 corresponds to a specific brake pad specification used on the front axle of various vehicle models.
This precision matching ensures correct fitment—the pad dimensions, thickness, and attachment points match the vehicle's original caliper design.
For workshops, this eliminates the risk of supplying an incorrect pad.
For vehicle owners, it provides confidence that the pad is the correct replacement part.
The pad is suitable for both conventional and new energy vehicle variants that share this OE specification.

Comfortable Brake Pad – The NVH Advantage
Understanding NVH in Braking
NVH stands for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness—three attributes that determine brake comfort.
In NEVs, the absence of engine noise makes brake NVH more noticeable.
A noisy or vibrating brake pad can significantly detract from the premium, quiet experience that NEV owners expect.
Comfort‑Oriented Design Features
Integrated shims – Multi‑layer damping shims absorb vibration and reduce noise transmission.
Chamfered edges – Reduce edge‑to‑edge contact, a common source of squeal.
Optimised friction material – Softer, more compliant formulations that dampen vibration.
Pre‑applied lubricant – Applied to contact points to reduce metal‑on‑metal noise.
The Comfort Advantage for NEVs
The quiet interior of an NEV means that brake noise—even at low levels—is more noticeable.
Comfortable brake pads are designed to minimise this noise, preserving the refined driving experience.
For NEV owners who value a quiet, smooth ride, comfortable pads are a priority.
Environment‑Friendly – The Sustainability Dimension
What Makes a Brake Pad Environment‑Friendly
Reduced or eliminated copper content—copper runoff from brake dust is a recognised environmental concern.
Use of sustainable, non‑toxic friction materials.
Reduced dust generation—less particulate matter released into the environment.
Longer service life—reduced frequency of replacement means less waste.
Why This Matters for NEV Owners
NEV owners often choose electric vehicles for environmental reasons.
An environment‑friendly brake pad aligns with the sustainability values that motivated the NEV purchase.
The combination of an electric drivetrain and environmentally responsible brake pads creates a holistic, low‑impact vehicle.
Regulatory Context
Some regions—including parts of the United States and Europe—are introducing regulations that restrict copper content in brake pads.
Ceramic copper‑free and environment‑friendly pads are designed to meet these evolving regulatory requirements.
Choosing these pads ensures future compliance and reduces environmental impact.
Brake Pad Performance in Regenerative Braking Systems
How Regenerative Braking Works
When the driver lifts off the accelerator or presses the brake pedal, the electric motor reverses its role.
It becomes a generator, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy.
This electrical energy is stored in the battery for later use.
The regenerative braking effect provides deceleration, reducing the need for friction brakes.
The Interaction with Friction Brakes
Regenerative braking handles the majority of deceleration in normal driving.
Friction brakes are used for:
Final stopping (creep to zero speed).
Emergency braking (maximum deceleration).
Low‑speed manoeuvring where regenerative braking is less effective.
How This Affects Brake Pad Selection
Because friction brakes are used less frequently, pads must remain effective even after extended periods of light use.
Low‑dust, low‑noise pads are preferred because the quiet environment of an NEV amplifies any brake noise.
Corrosion protection is important—pads that are not used frequently can develop surface corrosion that affects performance.
Ceramic and environment‑friendly pads with good corrosion resistance are well‑suited to NEV applications.
