Sampa wins two Automechanika Innovation Awards

Commercial vehicle parts manufacturer Sampa Automotive, distributed in Ireland by Harris CAS, has won two awards at this week’s Automechanika Innovation Awards 2024.

The winners of the Innovation Awards were selected from a total of 153 applicants. The products and solutions were assessed by a jury of 17 international experts.

Criteria such as innovative content, economic efficiency, user-friendliness, functionality, aftermarket relevance, safety and quality as well as the contribution to environmental protection and sustainability were decisive for the decision.

Sampa Automotive won twice, with its Sampa Braking Emission Storing Technology (BEST) receiving both the Innovation Award in the Commercial Vehicles category and the Green Award.

Sampa says its Braking Emission Storing Technology collects and filters the pad dust particles released during braking in disc brake systems, mechanically, both actively and passively, without connecting to any engine and electronic parts of the vehicle, and extending the life of the brake caliper mechanism by cooling the elastomer parts with the output of the suction power obtained.
