The application of disc brakes in
 the car, due to the restrictions on the size of the shape of the wheel 
hub, in small car hydraulic disc brake is used in great quantities, and 
heavy vehicle is using a pneumatic disc brake. With the development of 
automobile industry technology in China, especially the development of 
car industry, the phenomenon of using disc brakes on the car will be 
gradually into a scale. Especially in improving the vehicle performance,
 safety, comfort, and meet the demand of people constantly improve the 
living material, improve the living environment plays a major role.
4.1 minivans, cars, light trucks and other vehicles
Sedan
 in the braking process, due to inertia effect, the front wheel load 
often account for 70% of the motor full load – 80%, so the front wheel 
braking force is bigger than the rear wheels. Manufacturer from the 
perspective of economic and practical, in order to save costs, many used
 the front disc brake, the rear drum brake
 mixed matching method. Adopts front coil HouGu type hybrid brake is 
also because the vehicle during emergency braking, axle weight forward, 
higher requirement on the front wheel braking performance, brake before 
this class mainly hydraulic disc brake for the mainstream, with 
hydraulic oil as a transmission medium, with total hydraulic pump as 
power, after the brake pump with hydraulic points double-acting cylinder
 brake shoe to match. At present most of the cars, minivans, light 
trucks, suvs and pickups are using front coil HouGu mixed type brake. 
But with the improvement of highway grade, ride quality rise, especially
 the national security law enforcement, used disc brakes front and rear 
wheels will be an inevitable trend of the development of.
4.2 large passenger cars
Disc
 brake products, technology advanced, reliability, overall good, 
innovative and integration of technical standards. The European and 
American countries since the early 1990 s the disc brake for large 
buses. To 2000, the disc brake (both front and rear brake disc) has 
become the standard of European and American countries city bus 
configuration. Since 1997 in our country on the bus and truck promotion 
disc brakes and ABS anti-lock braking system, but the price is too high 
for imported products, mainly used in high-end products. Force 2004, the
 ministry of communications over 9 m high Ⅱ type passenger cars on the 
“must” after equipped with disc brakes to be popular. Such as Beijing, 
Shanghai, guangzhou, shenzhen, wuhan, the bus company are using matching
 for coach in pneumatic disc brake. At present domestic well-known large manufacturers have been in mass production grade passenger with disc brakes.
4.3 heavy duty truck
As
 a heavy duty truck industry applied new technology, disc brake is 
already a mature product. Large domestic car factory are finished in the
 early period of the disc brake in heavy duty truck type test and 
technical reserves, the disc brake can become the future heavy card in 
some ways the new trend in the development of brake system matching.
5. The domestic development trend of automotive disc brake
Europe,
 America, Japan and other developed countries have disc brakes as 
standard equipment in cars, buses, medium, and heavy multistage other 
cars. Along with the national laws and regulations, such as GB 7258-2004
 “motor vehicle safety technical conditions” (to be released based on 
the 2004 version of the updated version) and GB 24407-2012 “special 
school bus safety technical conditions”, is expected in the next few 
years, disc brakes at home will get rapid promotion and application. 
According to the new GB 7258, dangerous goods transport vehicle front 
axle and conductor is more than 9 m of bus front axle should be equipped
 with disc brake; The new GB 24407 requirements: dedicated school bus 
front wheel should install the school bus brake discs. Modern car disc brake
 problems should pay attention to the development of research and mainly
 increase the efficiency of the brake’s braking, prevent dust pollution 
and corrosion structure and reduce cost, weight, Jane, the development 
of the electronic alarm and intelligent system, practical stronger and 
longer life.
