Maximum braking efficiency, even at full load and top speed
Commercial vehicles—whether light (up to 6 tons), medium (6 to 16 tons), or heavy (over 16 tons)—require a braking system capable of delivering high power and withstanding repeated, frequent stress, regardless of road conditions.
Braking performance, as well as the heat generated during braking, is directly proportional to the vehicle’s weight and the speed at the moment of deceleration. This means that brakes operate at peak levels under full load and high-speed conditions, which are common for commercial vehicles.
These demands subject the braking system to greater stress than other vehicle types, making its role particularly critical.
At Brembo, we meet these challenges by providing original braking systems for all major manufacturers in the industry, setting a new standard in quality, reliability, and durability.
Brembo braking systems for commercial vehicles are a true guarantee of safety for those who demand the highest reliability from their everyday work tool.
Our solutions
Discs designed to ensure long-lasting durability and resistance to repeated thermo-mechanical stress, reliable calipers over time and in all conditions, and parking brakes that are safe and easy to use.
Discs
In the daily use of a braking system for commercial vehicles, there are no peaks, only repeated thermo-mechanical stresses, to which the brake disc must always respond effectively.
Brembo cast iron discs, equipped with the patented ventilation system with vanes, are specifically sized to increase resistance to the thermo-mechanical stresses they endure on heavy vehicles.
Better material distribution, a larger heat exchange surface, and greater air turbulence in the ventilation chamber are the factors that contribute to a significant reduction in cooling time, as well as a decrease in thermal cracks in our discs compared to those of other manufacturers.
Calipers
Brembo calipers are designed to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle, resist the action of weather conditions, and are built with great attention to seals to prevent corrosion.
Their design also focuses on reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance.
For vehicles up to 7 tons in gross weight, Brembo designs and manufactures floating hydraulic calipers, either front or rear, with one or two pistons, made of cast iron.
For vehicles between 6 and 10 tons, Brembo produces both floating hydraulic calipers and pneumo-hydraulic calipers that meet the high braking power demands required by this type of vehicle.
Parking brake
On commercial and work vehicles, the parking brake must always ensure maximum safety, reliability, and ease of use.
Brembo solutions are either mechanical or electromechanical and can be integrated into the combined caliper or separated in the DIH, in order to meet the varying demands and needs of different commercial vehicle manufacturers.
