We recently dropped by Kuala Lumpur Convention Center to check out Automechanika Kuala Lumpur 2023 (AMKL). In case you are unaware about what Automechanika is, it is an international trade fair for the automotive industry where companies showcase their products and services in a variety of areas such as automotive parts, accessories, repair, and maintenance equipment.
The event happens annually in various locations around the world, and it serves as an excellent platform for industry players to network, establish new business relationships, and share knowledge and technological advancements between brands. After four years, AMKL makes a return and we decided to check out what latest technological advancements the industry has to offer.
Checking In With Brembo Malaysia
As we tend to focus more on the aftermarket scene, we visited our friends over at the Emerald Auto Parts booth for their debut year at AMKL 2023. In case you didn't know, Emerald Auto Parts Sdn. Bhd. is the authorised distributor for many world-renowned brands including Brembo, Seiken, Remsa, Continental, CRC and Sanwa with about 40 years worth of experience in the industry. What really caught our attention at the Emerald Auto Parts booth was the Brembo area as they recently showcased their latest X-Style Calipers and Beyond EV Kit for the first time in Southeast Asia. The new products come to light due to the Malaysian customising culture as well as the recent development of the infrastructure for electric vehicles here in Malaysia.
X-Style Calipers
Their latest offering for the aftermarket customising scene are their X-Style Calipers that are purposely designed for those who like to modify their cars. This is also meant to be a way for owners of cars such as Mercedes models like C-Class, GLC-Class and E-Class to upgrade their vehicles without compromising safety. The X-Style calipers are made out of aluminium calipers and will be available in four colors such as yellow, red, black and grey.
Beyond EV Kit
Brembo is the first braking system manufacturer that produces specific brake pads dedicated to electric cars. The new brake pads offer a complete solution on disc with new anti-corrosion treatment, which in turn is more silent with greater durability. The Beyond EV Kit will be available from May onwards, offering the most popular electric vehicles on-sale with the likes of the Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y, Volkswagen E-Golf, BMW i3, Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Ioniq among many.
