ECE R90 approved truck and trailer brake pads at Truckstop Group
Brake pad selection on HGVs and trailers requires matching the pad geometry and friction specification to the specific caliper fitted to the axle. Meritor ELSA, Knorr SB and SN7, Wabco PAN22 and Haldex ModulT all use different pad profiles. Fitting an incorrect pad is not a like-for-like substitute — caliper damage, uneven bedding and reduced braking efficiency follow. The product listings in this collection specify compatible brake systems for each pad, making identification straightforward once the caliper type is known.
Winnard is the core brake pad brand in our range. All Winnard pads carry ECE R90 approval — the mandatory friction material standard for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes — and are supplied in axle sets of four identical pads. Winnard coverage includes Meritor ELSA 225-1 and 225-3, Knorr SB and SN7 (ProTecS), Wabco PAN22 and MAX22T, Haldex ModulT and SAF/Sauer disc brake systems. Many Winnard pads are supplied with a fitting kit; where not included, compatible WA-series kits are listed separately.
TMD Don brake pads are manufactured by Nisshinbo Group, one of the world's largest brake friction producers, and are used as OE equipment on Volvo, Renault and related truck makes — the CVP101K set covers Meritor ELSA 225-3 applications. Textar friction materials are stocked for Wabco PAN22 and related caliper applications, providing a further aftermarket option for common fitments. All brake pads are available for UK nationwide delivery with same-day options to the Midlands.
Frequently asked questions
What does ECE R90 approval mean for brake pads?
ECE R90 is the European regulatory standard for friction materials used on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. It governs friction performance, thermal stability and consistency across pads within a set. All Winnard pads in our range carry this approval, which is required for legal use on UK HGVs.
How do I identify which brake pad fits my caliper?
Identify the brake system on the axle — Meritor ELSA, Knorr SB, Wabco PAN22 and so on — and the generation or variant where relevant. Product listings include the compatible brake system. If unsure, the old pad profile can be cross-referenced by dimension, or call us with your axle make and specification.
Must I replace brake pads in full axle sets?
Yes. Replacing pads as a full set of four across the axle maintains even braking force on both sides. Fitting new pads on one side against worn pads on the other causes uneven braking, which affects directional stability under emergency braking.
Are fitting kits included with Winnard brake pads?
Many Winnard pads include a fitting kit. The product listing states whether a kit is included. Where it is not, WA-series fitting kits are listed separately and compatible kits are referenced in the product description.
