Volvo has unveiled what it calls the world’s first multi‑adaptive safety belt.

Most of us know the pain of being stuck in traffic on the morning commute… 

The rules of the road are intentionally dry and designed to prevent highways descending into chaos. 

While the current political climate might suggest otherwise, the world has never been more connected and the same is true of our cars.

2025 is shaping up to a be a big year for Ferrari. Next month a certain Lewis Hamilton will don red overalls and spearhead their quest for a first Formula One title in 17 years. And if rumours are to be believed, they plan to end an equally long wait for a maiden electric vehicle.

Brake calipers are a vital part of any vehicle's braking system, and with new developments in electric vehicles and autonomous driving, they are evolving to meet modern demands. 

Your car’s brake calipers are easy to forget – until something goes wrong. While most of us are used to replacing brake pads and discs, the calipers tend to go unnoticed, quietly working in the background. But just like any other part of your braking system, calipers wear out over time.

Brake calipers are a critical component of any vehicle’s braking system, but when it comes to high-performance cars, they take on an even bigger role.

When it comes to SUVs and trucks, brake calipers play a major role in providing the stopping power necessary to safely handle these larger, heavier vehicles.

If your vehicle’s brake caliper is worn out or damaged, replacing it is essential to ensure your braking system functions correctly. 

The braking system is one of the most important safety features of any vehicle, and at the heart of this system is the brake caliper.

Brake calipers play a crucial role in your vehicle’s braking system, applying the pressure needed to push the brake pads against the brake discs and slow your car down.

Floating brake calipers have become a popular choice for most vehicles because they move along a track to distribute pressure more evenly.

Brake calipers are essential to your vehicle's braking system, controlling how smoothly and effectively you can stop. 

When we think about vehicle performance, speed, acceleration and handling are often the first factors that come to mind. 

Keeping your vehicle safe on the road relies heavily on an efficient braking system. One essential part of this setup is the brake caliper, which plays a pivotal role in ensuring that your vehicle can slow down or come to a complete stop when needed.

As 2024 draws to a close range anxiety remains a real and present issue, much to the frustration of those looking to propel the electrification of the automotive industry.

The motoring world is by its very nature fast paced, with automakers encouraged to look forward, never back.

Our vehicles are fast becoming wallets on wheels. A recent study has revealed in-car payments are on the rise and this burgeoning market could be worth up to £434 billion by the end of the decade.

A shift to electric vehicles brings with it no shortage of compromise on behalf of sceptical, old-school drivers. Overcoming long-standing concerns – many of them legitimate – linked to range, charging points and cost is one thing. Giving up speed is quite another.

Our cars are getting heavier. According to an automaker in Wales vehicles now weigh 25% more than they did seven years ago. It’s a tipping point and that same company are looking to balance the scales.

The differential case is a critical component of your truck’s drivetrain, responsible for allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds while maintaining power distribution.

Maintaining your truck's differential case is essential for ensuring performance, reliability, and longevity. While professional maintenance is always an option, performing the maintenance yourself can save time and money.

Differential case upgrades are essential for trucks used in towing applications, where increased demands are placed on the drivetrain.

Whether you're upgrading for better performance, replacing a damaged part, or customising your vehicle, understanding the different types of differential cases and their specific applications is essential.

Limited-slip differential (LSD) cases play a big part in enhancing vehicle performance, particularly in situations requiring increased traction and stability. These systems are integral to both everyday vehicles and high-performance sports cars.

One of the most important components in a drift car is the differential case. Here, we’ll explore the role of differential cases in drift racing, their impact on performance, and why they’re indispensable for achieving those perfect slides.

The Differential Case is seeing transformative designs that promise to enhance performance, efficiency, and durability. On this subject, we’ll look into the future of the component's design and explore the key trends and technological breakthroughs shaping its evolution.

One critical component that has changed remarkably is the differential case. This component plays a pivotal role in ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the drivetrain, allowing for differential wheel speeds when a vehicle turns.

Whether you need the rugged durability of cast-iron or the lightweight performance of alloy, our expert team is here to help you make the best choice for your specific application.

Between the General Election and European Championships it’s easy to overlook news stories garnering less attention this summer. Yet Sunday (7th July) marked an important date for the automotive industry and drivers across the continent.

A fascinating new study has revealed UK drivers’ top ten fantasy cars, along with their likely running costs.

It’s been a turbulent few months for Tesla and its controversial leader, the shy and retiring Elon Musk.

Brake disc longevity is a crucial aspect of vehicle maintenance that significantly impacts safety, performance, and of course, cost.

As we speed through the latest advances in the automotive industry, the spotlight often engines, autonomous technologies, and connectivity features which capture the imagination.

When it comes to brakes, there are two main types that dominate the industry: disc brakes and drum brakes.

Imagine you're driving down the road, enjoying a smooth ride, when suddenly you hit the brakes, only to hear a loud, unsettling grinding noise. 

Ensuring the safety and reliability of your vehicle should involve a regular routine of maintenance and inspection, with brake discs right at the top of the list.

Navigating the roads safely depends on the condition of your vehicle's braking system, with brake discs themselves playing a pivotal role.

In the automotive world, brake discs are critical components that ensure safe and optimum and performance of vehicles.

In the fast-changing environment of automotive manufacturing, the spotlight on environmental sustainability has never shone brighter.

When it comes to upgrading your vehicle's braking system, there's no shortage of options available.

Braking is often perceived as a simple action. However, behind this seemingly straightforward process lies a complex interplay of physics, engineering, and materials science.

Ask any motorist to list their biggest gripes about driving on UK roads and the chances are potholes will be a chief complaint.
