I am searching the brake service instruction on ATE site and found the abbreviation, that I can't decipher. Apparently, it is opposite to the passenger car, thus it is relative to heavy trucks, buses, etc, but what does CV letters stand for?

  • Did you click on the 'View' button? Perhaps the instructions might help explain what 'CV' means in this context.

I didn't know this, but after a quick search it looks like it stands for Commercial Vehicle.

e.g. -

https://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/commercial-vehicles/brake-pads-for-commercial-vehicles/

which says - "Europe is the global leader in the Commercial Vehicle (CV) industry and in 2014 vehicle registrations grew by 10.8%, with vans, buses and coaches all increasing significantly"

and

https://www.juratek.com/cv-pads

which says - "xxxxxxx is a leading aftermarket supplier of pads to fit commercial vehicles"

  • It seems right. Also, it can be the "Cargo Vehicle". Does such class exist? But yes, the "Commercial vehicle" name is more common.

  • The first link says literally: "Europe is the global leader in the Commercial Vehicle (CV) industry and in 2014 vehicle registrations grew by 10.8%, with vans, buses and coaches all increasing significantly".
