Ready to design Future Brake Systems with proven, sustainable technologies?

The automotive industry is rapidly shifting towards electrification. Drum brake systems will be the preferred solution in the future, replacing disc brakes for optimal integration into brake-by-wire technology.

Drum brake systems are more straightforward, cost-effective, sustainable and durable than disc brakes. The automotive industry constantly changes, and driving your business forward means anticipating and preparing for future developments.

How to make braking solutions sustainable?

Lowering vehicle emissions is a major concern for the automotive industry. Governments worldwide are now implementing legislation to restrict the amount of fine dust produced by braking systems.

If you are a brake component supplier or an automobile manufacturer, you must ensure your vehicles will comply with emissions regulations. That means moving away from older systems and embracing new technologies.

With increasing global emissions regulations,
traditional disc brakes won't meet new standards such as Euro 7.
Drum brakes, now regarded as the optimal solution,
trap fine dust particles and reduce emissions by up to 95%.
Bekaert's Bezinal® spring wire is crucial for modern drum brake systems, ensuring compliance and functionality.

When co-creating braking components with Bekaert, you can ensure that your braking systems meet all emissions reduction requirements now and in the future.
