Meritor is renaming and enhancing two braking products to help customers identify these products and improve their total cost of ownership. As part of a new naming structure, Meritor drum brakes that had been branded QPlus are now Q+; and air disc brakes are renamed from EX225 to EX+.

Enhancements to Q+ drum brakes include:

• Increased availability at multiple OEM customers;

• Upgraded performance and lining life for reduced stopping distance; and

• Increased product familiarity among technicians to improve service ease.

EX+ air disc brake improvements include:

• Braking performance that results in shorter stopping distances, straight line stopping and fade resistance;

• Enhanced twin piston design;

• Improved redundant sealing at each potential ingress path; and

• Total cost of ownership and return on investment benefits for severe duty applications.
