TSS – New heavy-duty brakes for TLC300
The TSS heavy-duty brakes for TLC300 are specially designed and developed for the armoured TLC300 platform and are already installed in numerous vehicles, resulting in overwhelmingly positive feedback from the end-users on the global market. The excellent performance of this complete brake solution for the front and rear axle was also underlined during the vehicle homologation test for these VPAM VR9 vehicles at the end of last year.
The next final milestone in the industrialisation of the brake system has been reached, with the kick-off of serial production with cast-iron brake callipers and brake discs, resulting in uncompromised high performance at a significantly lower cost.
This braking system for the armoured TLC300, which can weigh up to 6,5 tons in protection class VR9, offers a total solution for the front and rear axle and is equipped with an OEM-compatible, integrated electric parking brake (EPB). Thanks to the plug-and-play functionality, the system can be installed quickly and easily via the original interfaces of the base vehicle.
Features and advantages for maximum braking power
• Optimised braking force distribution for increased Gross Vehicle Weight
• Use of steel-braided, Teflon-covered brake lines
• Reduced torsion and increased torque in assembly
• Improved driving dynamics during braking
• Increased comfort
• 384x36mm drilled and internally ventilated 1-piece brake discs
• Significantly larger friction surface
• +50% on the front axle; +95% on the rear axle compared to OEM
• Reduced operational system temperature
• Increased heat capacity
• Reduced fading
Other characteristics
• Plug-and-play electronic parking brake (EPB) interface
• Use with original EPB motor (not included in standard delivery)
• Designed for optimum use with TSS Heavy Duty Wheel® (8,5×18“ and 9×20”)
• Field-proven performance up to and including level VR9
The braking system’s versatility extends beyond the Toyota Landcruiser 300 to alternative applications (with Electronic Parking Brakes), including armoured vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz G-Model and the Volkswagen Crafter. These systems are already developed and ready for serial production, ensuring that the same level of high-performance braking is available for a broader range of armoured vehicles. Additionally, new braking systems can be developed and produced within a short timeframe, offering tailored solutions to meet specific requirements for various heavy-duty and armoured platforms.
All MOV’IT Security Brake Systems are designed to work in synergy with other TSS products, creating a seamless integration that ensures perfect fitment, optimal driving comfort, and enhanced safety & security. The compatibility with TSS’s broader range of solutions means that customers benefit from a holistic approach to vehicle performance, where each component is engineered to complement the others, providing a superior driving experience and maximising the protection of the armoured vehicle.
