In Iraq, the automotive aftermarket faces unique challenges due to extreme temperature fluctuations. The high ambient heat of the summer months significantly accelerates the wear and tear of every brake pad shoe, leading to frequent replacements and a higher demand for heat-resistant ceramic compounds.
The local market is characterized by a diverse fleet, ranging from heavy-duty commercial trucks to urban passenger cars. This diversity requires a comprehensive supply of brake pads & shoes that can handle both stop-and-go city traffic in Baghdad and long-haul transport across arid highways.
Furthermore, the prevalence of airborne dust and sand in the Iraqi atmosphere acts as an abrasive agent. This environmental factor increases the erosion rate of the brake pad surfaces, necessitating components with higher density and specialized coatings to maintain stopping power.
