DRiV has expanded its Wagner braking portfolio with new brake pads, rotors, and brake hardware to support today’s aging vehicle population, including commercial vans and heavy-duty pickup trucks commonly found in vocational fleets.

Available now are Wagner ES brake pads, ES rotors, and brake bolt kits, while premium rotors are expected later this month. The expanded lineup is designed to provide technicians with application-specific braking solutions that support durability, installation efficiency, and reliable braking performance.

Coverage includes passenger vehicles, vans, and SUVs, along with heavy-duty pickup and van applications such as Ford Super Duty, GM, and RAM heavy-duty trucks and vans that are frequently used across contractor, utility, service, and municipal fleet operations.

Built for Service Efficiency

“Wagner has built its reputation on delivering braking solutions that drivers and technicians trust,” said Joseph Saoud, vice president and general manager, U.S. and Canada, DRiV. “With these additions, we’re giving technicians the right combination of pads, rotors, and hardware to complete the job with confidence and consistency.”

The new Wagner ES brake pads feature OE-style fit and formulation, corrosion-resistant backplates, and noise-reducing three-layer shims designed to support quieter operation. The pads have also been dynamometer-tested to align with real-world driving conditions.

Wagner ES rotors feature OE-style designs with precision balancing to help reduce vibration and pedal pulsation, along with application-specific vane designs and ready-to-install construction that requires no machining.

Expanded Coverage for Fleet Applications

Premium rotors, expected later in May, are engineered to reduce break-in time, support proper pad bedding, and deliver long-term durability and stable braking performance.

The expanded portfolio also includes Wagner brake bolt kits engineered for applications using single-use, torque-to-yield bolt configurations, including vehicles such as the Ford Transit. The kits are designed to support proper clamping force and installation integrity during brake service procedures.

According to DRiV, the new ES pad line complements Wagner’s existing QS, OEx, SD, and PPV pad offerings, while the ES and premium rotors expand the brand’s standard painted and severe-duty rotor lineup.
