According to Steve Hampson, director of sales for WABCO North America, "Air disc brakes provide many benefits for fleets, including enhanced vehicle safety, shorter stopping distance than drum brakes-exceeding FMVSS 121 stopping distance requirements-and higher braking performance. ADBs offer stable brake performance with virtually no pulling or fading, enhanced dri-vability and optimal downhill performance." Hampson goes on to say that with ADBs, there also is less downtime and easier maintenance due, in part, to a simple pad exchange, which translates to lower service costs.
