The BRAKE Report recently sat down with Andrew Halonen, President of Mayflower Consulting, to learn more about his recent analysis of wheel-end components found on a wide variety of vehicles today. Andrew shares insights on the many observations he discovered while conducting the brake and suspension study and addresses some of the most common misconceptions about materials used in these components.

Mayflower Consulting played a critical role in the organization of the 2018 and 2019 Lightweighting World Expo events held in Novi MI. Our role included the planning of topics (BIW, chassis, glazing, interiors, additive mfg, powertrain, battery boxes, fastening/adhesives, etc), and identification of keynote and category speakers, along with attracting exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees. Many commented that it was ”the best quality lightweighting event,” yet unfortunately the market downturn canceled future events.
