Electro Mechanical Braking is on the rise - but can it cope with the Heat?

Electro-Mechanical Braking is set to transform vehicle design and autonomous driving. We explore the thermal challenges threatening EMB systems and the technologies helping overcome them.

The Hidden Cost of Corrosion in Braking Systems

Regenerative braking has transformed brake wear in EVs, but it's also created a new challenge: corrosion. Discover why brake pads are increasingly being replaced because of rust, not wear.

Why Composite Back Plates Are the Future of Braking

Electric vehicles are heavier, quieter, and cleaner – but their brakes still rely on heavy steel backing plates. We explore why composite brake pads make sense for EV braking systems, and how metal...

Material Science at the Limit: How Tribol Brake Pads Withstand Extreme Braking

Behind every Tribol brake pad is a carefully engineered composite system. We explain how fibres, resins and structure define performance.

Carbon Ceramic vs. Cast Iron Brake Discs

Carbon ceramic brakes are lighter and exotic - but do they actually manage heat better? We cut through the marketing and explain the science.
