Built on a Legacy of Braking: DRiV Expands Abex® Air Disc Brake System

As braking technology evolves, DRiV's Abex^® brand builds on decades of performance with a complete air disc brake system

SKOKIE, Ill., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DRiV, a global aftermarket solutions leader for the commercial truck and off-highway industries, is expanding its heavy-duty braking offering through its Abex^® brand. Abex^® now delivers a complete air disc brake system, including calipers, rotors and pads, supporting the growing adoption of air disc brakes across heavy-duty applications and the increasing complexity of modern service requirements.

"Commercial vehicle technology is moving fast, and the acceleration of air disc brake adoption is a good example of that shift," said Joseph Saoud, vice president and general manager, U.S. and Canada, DRiV. "By expanding the Abex^® portfolio we've completed a full air disc brake system offering with calipers, rotors and pads giving fleets and technicians a more comprehensive solution backed by a brand they trust."

DRiV Broadens Portfolio as Heavy-Duty Market Evolves
The increased use of air disc brake systems has changed how heavy-duty vehicles are designed, serviced and maintained. In response, Abex^® has broadened ts brake offering to align with current vehicle configurations and service expectations, now offering a complete air disc brake system designed to support consistent performance across components.

The complete Abex^® air disc brake system supports today's heavy-duty service environment, offering:

• Coverage for a range of commercial truck and off-highway applications
• Calipers, rotors and pads engineered to work together as one system

"Heavy-duty operators and fleets have no margin for error when it comes to braking," said Rohit Choudhary, vice president, sales and product, commercial truck and off-highway, DRiV. "What they expect is that the brands they rely on evolve with the market while holding onto the fundamentals. As air disc brake systems become more prevalent across commercial vehicles, they need aftermarket support they can count on. Abex^® has always been that source, and this expansion makes sure it stays that way."

Supporting DRiV's Commercial Truck and Off-Highway Strategy 
The continued evolution of the Abex ^® portfolio aligns with DRiV's broader commitment to the commercial truck and off-highway segment, where component reliability, serviceability and availability directly affect fleet operations. By expanding beyond individual components to a complete air disc brake system, DRiV is helping technicians and fleets streamline sourcing and maintenance.

Abex® added air disc brake calipers on March 30, 2026, completing a full air disc brake system that now includes calipers, rotors and pads. The calipers join an established rotor and pad portfolio that has supported heavy-duty fleets for years.
