Legislation leaders
We deliver best-in-class performance, comfort and safety, together with universal environmental and regulatory compliance.
Setting the standard
We strive constantly for a cleaner, safer, better world. Our commitment to legislation concerning brake emissions as well as corporate governance across the globe is unwavering. We work hand in hand with legislators to constantly improve the frameworks that govern what we do.
Our commitment to the Euro 7 brake emission standard
As a specialist and industry leader in brake lining technology, TMD Friction is assisting with the preparation of the Euro 7 legislation in terms of brake emissions. We’re working closely with vehicle manufacturers and other suppliers.
We’re currently developing an innovative formula for brake pads and linings that produce low particulate levels, with the aim of helping manufacturers around the world to move towards pollutant-free, emission-free mobility.
Most of the fine particulates in European road traffic are no longer caused by exhausts, but, regardless of the drive technology, by abrasion in brakes and tyres. With the Euro 7 standard, the battle against particulates has been extended to these particulate emissions.
Thanks to our development expertise, we will be able to match selected raw material combinations sufficiently closely to offer vehicle manufacturers an innovative solution in the avoidance of brake dust.
The TMD Friction Code of Ethics
Operating on a global scale brings extra responsibilities for TMD Friction. We ensure that we conduct our business in compliance with the laws and regulations of those countries as well as recognising and respecting the different cultural backgrounds of the many people we meet each day. We are committed to ensuring that our business practices are in line with the economic, legal and social expectations of the countries within which we do business. The TMD Friction Group Code of Ethics meets these requirements, as it sets out for all employees, the general principles and obligations that we must meet for our company and the communities in which we do business. Our international Code of Ethics Hotline supports the application of our own standards and is available to any TMD Friction employee, as well as third party contractors, agents etc. who work for us.
