At Volvo Trucks, superior quality and safety are by design.  It’s how 
Volvo provides products, service and support to every Volvo customer.  
It’s the only way to build the best – and safest – trucks on the road. 
With that kind of absolute commitment, it makes sense why Volvo has 
now named the full family of Bendix brand foundation brakes from 
Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC (BSFB) as standard position in the 
Volvo data book publication.
Uncompromising Performance.

plus complete aftermarket support are just a few of the many reasons

and global drum brake innovations, including design, production 
and assembly.  Our heritage began under the legacy of Eaton brake 
products. But today, Bendix foundation drum brakes are manufactured 
at our state-of-the-art production facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake offers several models of air drum 
brakes to fit all heavy- and medium-duty truck and tractor applications 
in North America. The largest U.S. truck fleets specify Bendix

eliminating brake relines within their fleets.
