Engineered for Endurance. Made for the Business of Moving.

Unlike passenger cars or full-size trucks, LCVs operate in a demanding middle ground. They may not boast high horsepower, but they shoulder heavy loads and face relentless stop-start city driving. Professional+ is specifically engineered to handle this.

Crafted with a bespoke heavy-duty friction material, Professional+ brake pads deliver +40% durability on average, compared to premium competitors, without increasing disc wear. That translates into fewer replacements, less time in the workshop, and a lower total cost of ownership for fleet operators and service providers alike.

To ensure Professional+ could meet the grind of daily van use, we validated its performance under pressure - on vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, simulating real-life usage scenarios.

What sets these pads apart isn’t just the friction material. Every set includes high-quality grease and shims – even when the OE don’t. This means reduced vibration and noise during use, straight from the box.

Engineered with Purpose. Designed with Style.

Delphi’s Professional+ brake pads are more than just high-spec internally - they look the part too. With a distinctive blue backplate, sleek silver-finish shim, striking packaging that references the Masters of Motion identity, and messaging that speaks directly to technicians, Professional+ stands out both on the shelf and on the vehicle.

SLEEK SILVER-FINISH SHIM

The finely tuned layers of OE dampening material help to reduce the transmission and amplitude of vibration and provide a thermal barrier for more consistent braking. We include it in every Professional+ box, even if the OE doesn't.

BLUE BACK PLATES

The backbone of every Professional+ pad, our backing plates are manufactured from a high-strength pressed steel and coated in a special blue powder for improved protection, installation and pressure transmission.

UNDER LAYER

The 3mm layer of OE under layer technology in all our pads absorbs noise and acts as a thermal insulator, reducing heat transfer to the brake fluid.

PROFESSIONAL+ FRICTION MATERIAL

We've engineered a brand new Professional+ friction material, designed specifically for increased pad durability, without increasing disc wear.

FRICTION SURFACE

Our OE configured chamfers, help shorten bedding in, and reduce initial squeal, for OE performance from day one. Additional slots allow the pad to flex, preventing stress cracks.

We Call it Delphi's 5 Layers of Quality

Contributing to a large part of the vehicle’s stopping power, brake pads are one of the most important components in the braking system - so when it comes to quality, there can be no compromise.

As a leading braking manufacturer, our pads are designed, manufactured and tested for outstanding performance.

What Makes It Different

+ 40% durability on average
A custom heavy-duty friction material gives Professional+ pads a longer life than premium competitors, without increasing disc wear. That means less workshop time and a lower cost per kilometer.

+ Designed for Light Commercial Vehicles
We validated the performance of vehicles like the Mercedes Sprinter in the field. Whether it's parcels or people, Professional+ takes the load without giving out.

+ Shim included for noise comfort
Most OE pads don't include shims. Ours do—every time. Factory-fitted silver shims reduce brake noise and vibration. They also cut installation time and increase comfort.

+ Grease included for easy installation
Every Professional+ pad set includes high-quality grease. You save time, and your techs stay focused.

+ Longer life = Less waste
Longer-lasting brakes mean fewer replacements, less waste, and a smaller environmental footprint – helping you keep business moving while building a more sustainable future.

+ We back every set with a 5 year warranty
Because when we say Professional+, we mean performance you can trust.

Benefits Across the Board

Whether you’re managing a fleet, running a workshop, or supplying high-volume accounts, Professional+ delivers tangible values:

Fleet operators gain longer service intervals, increased uptime, and more time on the road
Workshops enjoy easier installs and greater customer satisfaction
Distributors benefit from a premium product, a strong competitive edge, and new business opportunities

Sustainability through longevity: fewer pad changes mean fewer emissions, less material waste, and lower environmental impact from transport and manufacturing. Combined with enhanced durability, Professional+ contributes to a lower CO₂ footprint - benefiting both the business and the environment.

Market coverage that counts: launching this year, Professional+ will offer coverage for around 70% of Europe’s LCVs, with 58 SKUs tailored to over 20 million vehicles. From the Ford Transit and Volkswagen Transporter to the Fiat Ducato and Iveco Daily, Professional+ is engineered to meet the needs of Europe’s hardest-working vans.

The right fit for every fleet: while Professional+ is the premium solution for high-demand applications, Delphi also offers a conventional premium range - ensuring customers have the flexibility to choose based on use case and budget.
