At WEY UAE, braking performance matters to every driver we meet. The WEY 03 uses a four-wheel ventilated disc brake system. This article explains how this braking system works and why it matters.
What Are Ventilated Disc Brakes?
Ventilated disc brakes include internal cooling vents built into the brake disc. These vents allow air to pass through the disc during use. This design supports heat management during braking.
The WEY 03 uses this brake type across all four wheels.
How Ventilated Disc Brakes Work
When you press the brake pedal, brake pads press against the disc surface. This creates friction, which slows the wheel. Friction also creates heat.
Ventilated discs allow air to flow through internal channels. This supports cooling during repeated or heavy braking, compared to a solid disc design.
Why the WEY 03 Uses This System on All Four Wheels
The WEY 03 applies ventilated disc brakes to both front and rear wheels. This supports consistent braking performance across the vehicle, rather than relying on a mixed setup.
This layout pairs with the WEY 03’s overall weight and performance figures, including a 0-100 km/h time of 6 seconds and a system integrated torque of 750 N·m.
Supporting Systems Alongside the Brakes
The WEY 03’s braking system works alongside several supporting features:
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Electronic Parking Braking (EPB)
- Auto Hold
- Hill Descent Control (HDC)
- Hill-holding aid climb (HHC)
These systems work together with the physical brake hardware to support control during different driving situations.
Braking and the Steering System
The WEY 03 pairs its brake system with DP-EPS steering. This electric power steering system supports steering response during braking manoeuvres, working alongside the suspension setup.
Suspension Support
The WEY 03 uses:
- Front MacPherson independent suspension
- Rear multi-link independent suspension
This suspension design supports wheel contact with the road during braking, which plays a role in overall stopping behavior.
Braking During Hybrid Driving
The WEY 03 includes an adjustable energy recovery system across three intensity levels. This feature uses the electric motor to support deceleration, working alongside the physical disc brakes.
This can reduce reliance on the brake pedal alone during certain driving conditions, particularly in Single Pedal Mode.
Emergency Braking Support
The WEY 03 includes an Emergency Steering System (ESS) and Second Collision Mitigation (SCM). These features work within the vehicle’s wider safety structure, alongside Automatic Emergency Braking.
These systems support a layered braking response. They do not guarantee that a collision will be avoided in every situation.
Why Ventilated Discs Suit UAE Conditions
UAE temperatures can affect brake performance during long or repeated use, especially on highway descents or in heavy traffic. Ventilated disc brakes support heat management in these conditions.
This can matter during:
- Long highway drives in high temperatures
- Repeated stop-and-go city traffic
- Mountain or incline routes within the UAE
Tyres and Wheel Setup
The WEY 03 pairs its braking system with 235/55/R19 tyres on 19-inch wheels. This wheel and tyre combination supports the overall braking and handling setup across the vehicle.
