A vehicle comprising:

• a first air operated disc brake mounted on a first side of the vehicle;
• and
• a second air operated disc brake mounted on a second side of the vehicle opposite the first side of the vehicle, and wherein the first and second air operated disc brakes each comprise a brake disc, a sliding caliper, a single piston, a brake pad carrier comprising a leading part and a trailing part, the brake pad carrier including mounting features for securing the brake pad carrier to an associated structure of a vehicle, the mounting features defining a mounting side and a non-mounting side of the air operated disc brake, and a mounting side brake pad comprising mounting side friction material and a non-mounting side brake pad comprising non-mounting side friction material, wherein the non-mounting side friction material is circumferentially aligned with the piston and the mounting side friction material is offset in relation to the piston towards the leading part of the brake pad carrier, and wherein the brake pad carrier of the first air operated disc brake and the brake pad carrier of the second air operated disc brake are mirror images of one another.
