NK adds 209 new brake hoses

The range of the spare parts brand NK is becoming even more attractive for distributors and workshops: The specialist for brake, steering and suspension parts under the umbrella of SBS Automotive is adding 209 part numbers to its portfolio, which together cover more than 7,300 vehicle applications. In NK's core markets, NK brake hoses are now available to the aftermarket for more than 25 million additional vehicles.

In the markets in which NK is active, distributors and workshops will soon be able to rely on the company’s proven quality for a large number of further service cases: With the announced expansion of the product range, the total number of SKUs will grow to 1,680, while market coverage in the core markets will increase to 93.5 percent.

Best-selling brake hoses for many leading brands

The new part numbers include many fast-moving items for popular vehicle models. For example, NK brake hoses are available for the first time for various versions of the Mercedes CLA 250, GLA 250 and A220 from model year 2021 onwards. These represent around 1.2 million registered vehicles in NK’s target markets. The same applies to various versions of the Renault Zoe and Renault Clio from model year 2012 onwards, which are registered more than 2.5 million times, and to a large number of VW Group models from model year 2017 and later, which can be found on the roads more than 3.1 million times. The best-selling brake hoses in the product range expansion, however, even account for almost 3.5 million Citroën, DS and Peugeot cars built from 2013 on, including the Citroën C4 and C5 Aircross as well as the Peugeot models 308, 408, 508 and 5008.

Quality without compromise

Like all brake hoses from NK, the newly added part numbers comply with the respective OE-specifications and therefore guarantee hassle-free installation. Also, they meet the highest standards of durability and safety and fulfil all relevant industry standards, including FMVSS 106, SAE J1401, and DIN ISO 3996. They are produced in manufacturing facilities that are certified in accordance with supplier standard IATF 16949 and come with a five-layer construction with three EPDM layers and two PET fabric layers. This makes them flexible and at the same time highly resilient, abrasion-resistant and proof against ageing, chemicals, oil and weathering. The supplied clamps and fittings are OE-identical and galvanized and therefore optimally protected against rust.

All parts will be available from summer on and come with a five-year warranty against material- and production defects. The corresponding vehicle applications and product details have already been delivered to TecDoc and other electronic catalogs. See all new articles on the NK website here
