Brembo @IAA Less Weight, more efficiency: Innovations in the Field of Design

​Brembo presents new components for brake systems that succeed in maximizing weight reduction. The aim is to improve comfort and effectiveness of the braking action, while bringing about a significant reduction in the level of CO2 emissions produced by the vehicle. These are five new eco-friendly products, reflecting a trend in automotive component design oriented increasingly toward sustainable development, with huge strides being made in the fields of design, manufacturing processes, materials and technologies. Here are the innovations in the field of design.


Extremely lightweight – extremely stiff, the weight-optimized brake caliper: The innovative design of this Brembo brake caliper was developed using a special software. The resulting design considerably reduces the weight of the caliper and at the same time increases its stiffness. Thus, it is either possible to maintain brake performance with a smaller and lighter caliper, or increase brake performance with a same sized caliper.
The design of the brake caliper also improves brake cooling, a considerable advantage when integrated into sports cars.
