CIL40 series
4 piston brake caliper
Armoured vehicles present a unique challenge to a brake systems supplier, namely to provide the same or better braking performance than the unarmoured car upon which it is based, despite the armour often adding 50 per cent to the weight of the vehicle, usually without a significant increase in wheel size to accommodate bigger brakes. These are the kind of challenges Alcon exists to meet.
Alcon brakes are trusted to play their part in looking after heads of state, royalty and other VIPs in limousines and SUVs around the world. Such clients tend not to want a take-it-or-leave it standard kit often offered for low volume orders, so we work with them to understand their exact needs and develop a brake specification tailored precisely to those requirements.
Whether it is for the peace-keeping forces of the United Nations or a single private individual, we create the best bespoke braking systems to look after some of the most important and highly visible people in the world.
