As the world moves forward with faster transport systems, smarter vehicles, and expanding road networks, one thing remains unchanged: the need for safe, reliable, and responsible braking systems.
At AFI Brake Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., our mission is clear—support safer roads through innovation, education, and quality engineering. Our commitment isn’t just to the vehicles that use our products, but to the people behind the wheel and the communities they drive through.
In the next decade, we aim to lead not just through product performance, but by setting higher standards for safety, sustainability, and industry responsibility.
1. Building Products That Put Safety First
We take pride in designing and manufacturing brake pads, discs, and related components that deliver consistent safety on the road. Every AFI Brake product is:
- Developed for reliable stopping performance across a wide range of driving conditions
- Certified to meet UNECE R90 standards, one of the key international safety benchmarks for brake systems
Rigorously tested for durability, heat resistance, and load-bearing capacity
We believe that every stop should inspire confidence—no matter the size of the vehicle or the road conditions it faces.
2. Making Safety Information Accessible to All
Many road users, and even vehicle owners, are not fully aware of how braking systems work or when components need replacing. Over the next decade, we plan to:
- Share practical educational content to help drivers recognise early warning signs
- Support workshops and technicians in explaining brake safety in simpler terms
- Raise awareness of asbestos-free braking products and the risks associated with outdated materials
Our aim is to help every driver—whether behind the wheel of a family car or a delivery truck—understand their braking system better and make safer choices.
3. Earning the Leaf Mark: Our Eco-Conscious Responsibility
We are proud that AFI Brake products have earned the leaf mark, a symbol of our dedication to environmentally responsible manufacturing. This mark reflects:
- Our use of asbestos-free friction materials
- Continued efforts to reduce brake dust pollution
- Commitment to cleaner production methods that align with modern environmental standards
We believe safer roads also require a cleaner environment, and we’re proud to contribute on both fronts.
4. Supporting the Safety of Commercial and Public Transport
Heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trailers face extreme braking demands due to their weight and daily mileage. Unfortunately, brake-related faults are still a major factor in road accidents involving these vehicles.
📊 Why It Matters – Real Data:
- A study in Quebec found that 2% of heavy-vehicle crashes were caused by mechanical defects, with over 50% of those linked to brake issues.
- In the United States, the FMCSA reported that brake problems were a factor in nearly 30% of large-truck crashes—the most common mechanical issue recorded.
- Trucks with brake defects were also 170% more likely to be the main cause in an accident than trucks with other faults.
- Brake components engineered for heavy loads and high mileage
- Compliance with international safety standards

5. Looking Ahead: Innovation for Tomorrow’s Mobility
As the world embraces electric vehicles, autonomous technology, and smart logistics, braking systems must evolve too. Our long-term vision includes:
- Adapting to emerging vehicle technologies and braking behaviours
- Investing in research and development of future-ready materials
- Anticipating regulatory changes and industry trends to stay ahead of expectations
We’re not only committed to today’s vehicles—but to tomorrow’s as well.
The Road Ahead
At AFI Brake, we see every product as a promise—to deliver safety, durability, and a better driving experience. From everyday vehicles to commercial fleets, we understand the responsibility that comes with every stop. That’s why we’re working toward a future where road safety is not just maintained, but continuously improved.
Because with every stop, there’s a responsibility — and at AFI Brake, we’re proud to take it on.
