Top 10 Heavy-Duty Truck Brake Pad WVA Numbers You Should Know

October 15, 2026 · 7 min read

If you source brake parts for commercial vehicles, you know the drill: your customer calls at 4 PM, needs brake pads for a fleet of trucks, and you have to figure out which WVA numbers fit which models. It's confusing, time-consuming, and one wrong part means a truck down for days.

After 30 years manufacturing brake parts for the global aftermarket, we've put together the list of the 10 most popular WVA disc brake pad numbers for European heavy-duty trucks. These are the ones we export the most to distributors in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South America.

These are the workhorses of the industry — if you stock only a few SKUs, these should be the first on your list.
