Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC plans to launch an all-makes product line of replacement commercial medium-duty and select commercial light-duty hydraulic brake parts under the Formula Blue brand by this spring.

The Formula Blue product line expands the Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake offering to include a full line of hydraulics parts for model year coverage up to 2007 for the broadest range of domestic and import makes and commercial vehicle applications. Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake will use its existing North American distribution, sales and service network to support this effort. Parts catalogs will be available in April.
“The Formula Blue brand’s comprehensive commercial vehicle hydraulic product offering brings one-stop shopping to the next level, and we’re confident that our distributor networks and end-users will find tremendous value in the quality of parts and ease of ordering that they will experience,” said Bill Mossing, assistant general manager, Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake.
The catalog consists of more than 7,000 light- and medium-duty parts. In April a wide-ranging, user-friendly electronic cross-referencing tool will be available at www.foundationbrakes.com.
Specific catalog highlights include expanded coverage to virtually all applications for Hino, Isuzu, Iveco, UD Trucks and Workhorse vehicles through model year 2007. Product coverage includes new, premium brake calipers and rotors as well as complete lines of brake pads and shoes, brake hardware, rotors and drums, and brake and clutch hydraulics.
Technical support will be available from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday by calling (866) 610-9709, option 2. Calls are handled by a seasoned tech staff trained in the Formula Blue catalog, part numbers and hydraulic vehicle applications.
Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake is a wheel end joint venture between Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Dana Corporation. It represents both Bendix and Formula Blue among its family of brands.
