There are two major stages involved in this project, which
are disc brake design and performance evaluation. In the disc
brake design stage, suitable type of disc brake was selected to
be installed in UTeM Eco-Car. Selection criteria were focused
on price, system compatibility, and lightweight. Thus, in the
end of the selection process, a commercial Yamaha LC135
motorcycle disc brake system was selected for the vehicle.
The reasons are due to compatibility to the 13 inch rim used
for the vehicle, as well as lightweight property and lower cost
compared to a passenger car disc brake system. The disc brake
system utilized a cross-drilled rotor with fixed calliper design
for better heat dissipation
