Abstract: A wheel brake arrangement (100) for a wheel of a vehicle, the wheel brake arrangement (100) comprising a retainer bar (110) and a resilient member (114) connected between the retainer bar (110) and a brake pad arrangement (102) of the wheel brake arrangement (100).

Abstract: A brake disc configured to be connected to a vehicle axle and to be squeezed between brake pads, comprising a central disc body (30) having a first and a second side (32, 34), wherein the second side faces in the opposite direction compared to the first side; a first and a second disc plate (36, 38), each disc plate having a wear surface for producing friction when a brake pad is pressed against the wear surface. The disc plates are releasably secured to said first side and second sides, respectively, so as to enable the first and second disc plates to be replaced by other disc plates. A connecting member (64) prevents rotation of the disc plates relative to the central disc body, the connecting member extending from the first disc plate, through a passage (58) in the central disc body, to the second disc plate. Also presented is a vehicle comprising such a brake disc.

Abstract: A brake disc configured to be connected to a vehicle axle and to be squeezed between brake pads, comprising a central disc body (30), first and second disc plates (36, 38) releasably securable to the central disc body. Each disc plate has a wear surface and a disc body facing surface. The brake disc has a geometrical centre axis. Each disc plate has an inner periphery and an outer periphery extending from the wear surface to the disc body facing surface. A first ledge (60) mates with the inner periphery of the first disc plate, and a second ledge (60) mates with the inner periphery of the second disc plate. Each ledge comprises at least a ledge portion which is inclined relative to the geometrical centre axis for counteracting axial movement of the disc plates relative to the central disc body.

Abstract: A brake pad retainer system in a vehicle disc brake comprises a calliper bridge and a calliper housing supporting brake pads on either side of a rotary brake disc, wherein the system is arranged to hold one brake pad in position relative to the calliper bridge. The retainer system comprises a retainer bracket arranged parallel to the brake disc axis and extending across a back plate of the brake pad, and a retaining spring arranged along a radially outer portion of the back plate and extending between the retainer bracket and the back plate. The retainer bracket has an angled surface arranged in contact with a corresponding first angled surface on the retaining spring. The retaining spring has a second angled surface arranged in contact with a corresponding angled surface on the radially outer portion of the back plate. The disclosure also relates to a brake pad.

Abstract: A vehicle calliper disc brake comprising a brake disc connected to a vehicle wheel and having inboard and outboard side surfaces and a rotational axis; an actuator arranged in a calliper housing to displace at least one piston to actuate the disc brake; the calliper housing having facing first and second side walls on opposite sides of the brake disc, where the first side wall has at least one piston slidably mounted in a cavity between the side walls and where the second side wall is part of a calliper bridge extending from the first wall and spanning the brake disc.

Abstract: A method for prevention of fault events on vehicles including: acquiring predictive data related to predictive events for a vehicle; processing the predictive data with a vehicle performance model adapted to relate specific predictive events to specific vehicle performance events; and adjusting a control strategy for the vehicle based on an outcome of the processing to at least reduce the risk that a specific vehicle performance event occurs when the vehicle reaches a corresponding specific predictive event.

Abstract: A brake pad retainer arrangement for holding a brake pad in position relative to a disc in a disc brake. The arrangement comprises an elongated retainer bracket arranged to extend transversely over the disc and the brake pad, wherein the retainer bracket is spring loaded to press against a rim portion of the brake pad. The retainer bracket is also arranged to engage the rim portion at an angle, thereby biasing the brake pad in a direction away from the disc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake pad for a vehicle, adapted to be connected to a carrier around a rotatable brake disc which rotates around a geometrical centre axis, the brake pad comprising an upper side, a lower side, a friction surface extending downwardly from the upper side to the lower side and being adapted to be pressed against a brake disc, an opposite surface extending downwardly from the upper side to the lower side and being adapted to be faced away from the brake disc, wherein the lower side comprises at least one sliding portion configured to slide against a mating sliding portion of a carrier, wherein the at least one sliding portion extends downwards towards the opposite surface.

Abstract: A wheel brake arrangement (100) for a wheel of a vehicle, the wheel brake arrangement (100) comprising a retainer bar (110) and a resilient member (114) connected between the retainer bar (110) and a brake pad arrangement (102) of the wheel brake arrangement (100).

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment apparatus is provided for use together with a diesel engine in an indoor environment, where the diesel engine is part of, e.g., a vehicle or other machinery. A method of controlling such an exhaust gas treatment apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A body structure includes: a center frame extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at the center in the vehicle width direction; and at least one support member extending toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction from the center frame. The support member supports at least one of a steering system, a pedal system, a seat, and a footrest member.

Abstract: A process is provided for regenerating an exhaust gas after-treatment device in an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine arrangement, the exhaust line including a particle filter. The process includes identifying when soot loading of the particle filter exceeds a predetermined level. After that, temperature of exhaust gases at the particle filter is maintained within a first temperature range until at least one of a predetermined period of time has lapsed or a determination is made that soot loading of the particle filter is below the predetermined level. After that, the temperature of the exhaust gases at the particle filter is increased to within a second temperature range above the first temperature range. An internal combustion engine arrangement is also disclosed.
