2/23/2024

City pollution skyrocketing? Pm10 and pm2.5 making our city air unbreathable? The Brembo Greenance kit is a concrete solution to drastically reduce fine particulate matter.

In recent days, an alarm was raised by the Swiss website "Iqair" which sparked much discussion, stating that on Sunday, February 18, the Lombardy capital was on the podium for the world's most polluted cities, with only Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Lahore, Pakistan, ranking higher. According to the Swiss website, the concentration of the finest particulate matter released in the air (PM2.5) in Milan was 29.7 times the annual air quality guideline value indicated by the WHO (World Health Organization). The situation does not improve when analyzing the regional site ARPA, an official site, which confirms the situation.

According to ARPA, the fixed station of Milan Pascal Città Studi recorded a daily average PM10 value more than double the limit (which is 50 micrograms per cubic meter): at an alarming 102. Regardless of the accuracy of the Swiss website's data, the issue still remains significant at a global level.

The public debate immediately ignited around the themes of sustainable mobility and possible solutions to reduce environmental impact, with some public administrations even considering very drastic solutions such as traffic blockades or bans on highly polluting vehicles. However, there is a solution capable of effectively contributing to the reduction of PM10 and PM2.5 without resorting to drastic measures.

This solution is Brembo’s Greenance Kit, consisting of discs and pads developed to ensure, a reduced environmental impact, with a significant reduction in emissions compared to traditional aftermarket discs and pads: - 83% PM10 and - 80% PM2.5. This solution has already passed ECE-R90 approval tests and the most stringent reference road tests, conducted by the company's technicians, according to Brembo's strict requirements.

Greenance, a name derived from the combination of "GREEN" and "PERFORMANCE," distinguishes Brembo products developed with the highest sustainability in mind, meeting customer expectations and the desire to contribute to a sustainable environment, without compromising maximum braking performance.

Furthermore, the Greenance Kit is also an economical solution because it guarantees greater mileage and a significant improvement in the vehicle's cost of use. It ensures better brake disc durability, tripling their expected life. This leads to an optimization of maintenance costs, which represents an absolute priority for professionals and motorists who require longer mileage for their vehicles, such as light commercial vehicles and fleets.

The world demands products with less environmental impact, and the automotive sector is no exception. Therefore, Brembo's daily commitment to optimizing production processes and introducing new solutions aimed at a better and more sustainable future mobility, is natural.

For Brembo, respect for the environment is inseparable from performance, and GREENANCE represents a new line of revolutionary products focused on reducing environmental impact - anticipating, where possible, the norms of increasingly restrictive legislation - while guaranteeing top-level braking performance.
