As transportation technology evolved, so did braking and clutching systems. The first mechanical brakes appeared in the late 1800s, and were operated by a lever or pedal that applied pressure to a drum or disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. The first hydraulic brakes were introduced in the early 1900s, allowing for more precise control and better stopping power.
Clutch systems also evolved alongside brakes, with the first mechanical clutches appearing in the early 1900s. These early clutches were operated by a pedal that disengaged the transmission from the engine, allowing the driver to shift gears. Later, hydraulic and electro-magnetic clutches were developed, which provided even greater precision and control.
“One of the most important lessons a driver can learn is to anticipate the need for brakes.”
Today, braking and clutching systems are highly advanced and sophisticated, using a variety of technologies to ensure safe and efficient operation of vehicles. From disc brakes and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) to dual-clutch transmissions and continuously variable transmissions (CVT), braking and clutching systems continue to evolve and improve, making driving safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help you answer
some of the more common ones.
There are several signs that your brakes may need to be replaced, including squeaking or grinding noises when you apply the brakes, a soft or spongy brake pedal, a vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal or steering wheel, and a longer than usual stopping distance. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your brakes inspected by a professional.
The frequency at which you need to replace your brake pads depends on a number of factors, including your driving habits, the type of brake pads you use, and the type of vehicle you have. Generally, it’s recommended that you replace your brake pads every 25,000 to 70,000 Kilometers, but it’s important to refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
