Throughout the development of the automotive industry, technological advancements in brake partshave always been key to ensuring driving safety and enhancing the driving experience. As we enter 2025, with the strengthening of environmental protection and intelligent driving trends, as well as the widespread adoption of electrification, brake parts such as brake pads, brake discs, brake drums, and clutch plates are experiencing comprehensive technological innovation.

Brake pad material technology continues to evolve to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Traditional asbestos-based brake pads are being phased out due to health hazards, replaced by ceramic, semi-metallic, and organic materials. By 2025, some companies have developed new composite fiber brake pads, further reducing wear rates and dust emissions. For example, TMD's brake pads, designed specifically for Asian vehicle models, utilize a special formula to achieve ultra-low noise and dust emissions, adapting to Asian driving conditions and enhancing driver comfort.
Driven by environmental regulations, brake disc coating technology has become a hot topic. The upcoming EU Euro 7 standard includes brake particulate matter within its limits for the first time, making the solution to brake dust emissions a pressing challenge for the industry. GTV high-speed laser cladding technology has emerged as a key technology. By creating a highly metallurgically bonded protective coating on the brake disc surface, it imparts exceptional adhesion and durability. This technology not only completely eliminates harmful particles but also extends the disc lifespan to 1 million kilometers, meeting the demand for high-performance, high-durability coatings brake discs. Brembo's Greentell kit is also highly anticipated. Its brake discs feature a patent-pending, double-layer nickel-free coating, achieved using Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology. Compared to comparable uncoated cast iron discs, this kit reduces brake wear by 80%, dust emissions by approximately 90%, and overall environmental impact by 85%, enabling early compliance with the 2026 Euro 7 emissions regulations.
The application of intelligent technologies in the brake component sector is becoming increasingly widespread. The SENSIFY® intelligent braking system, jointly developed by Brembo and Michelin, is a prime example of this trend. This system dynamically optimizes braking performance by integrating Michelin's real-time tire data (such as wear, load, and grip) with Brembo's AI algorithms. Test data shows that vehicles equipped with SENSIFY® and the Michelin solution achieve braking distances up to four meters shorter, with significantly improved response speed, lateral stability, and traction control. Furthermore, the system leverages real-time data exchange and digital control technology to independently adjust braking force at each wheel, providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
Advances in sensor monitoring technology have enabled more accurate monitoring of braking system performance. ZF's strain gauge sensors provide real-time monitoring of braking system performance, providing a powerful tool for timely detection of potential problems. These sensors, connected to the vehicle's electronic control system, adjust braking strategies based on real-time data, improving braking system reliability and stability.
In the passenger car sector, brake part design prioritizes a balance between performance and comfort. Carbon-ceramic brake discs, thanks to their lightweight, high-temperature, and wear-resistant properties, are widely used in high-performance and luxury vehicles. For example, Maxtor's carbon-ceramic brake discs utilize long-fiber materials for enhanced wear and high-temperature resistance. They weigh only half as much as cast iron discs, providing more stable braking performance under high-speed and frequent braking conditions and resisting rust. Regarding clutch plates, new materials and structures are emerging to meet the shifting smoothness and responsiveness requirements of passenger cars. For example, special carbon fiber-reinforced materials combined with optimized spring and buffer structures enable instant engagement and disengagement of clutch plates, enhancing driving control and comfort.

Commercial vehicles, due to their heavy loads and long-distance travel, place extremely high demands on the reliability and durability of brake parts.New drum brakes feature innovations in structure, heat dissipation, and technological integration. Structurally, a wedge-type opening mechanism replaces the traditional cam-type, reducing brake size and improving space utilization. The use of a stamped-and-welded shoe manufacturing process enhances brake durability. Regarding heat dissipation, the unique bowl-shaped design increases the brake bowl rim, effectively eliminating mud and rainwater residue and improving braking system reliability. In terms of technological integration, the introduction of advanced technologies such as ABS enables commercial vehicles to better adapt to various road conditions, improving tire grip and ensuring driving safety.
Technical changes in the automotive brake parts industry by 2025 will focus on environmental protection, intelligence, and adaptability to vehicle model requirements. Components will continuously innovate and break through in materials, structures, and control technologies. These technological changes will not only enhance brake system performance and safety, but also align with the automotive industry's broader trend toward greener and more intelligent development, bringing greater security and possibilities to future travel. With continuous technological advancement, the brake parts industry will achieve even higher levels of development while continuously meeting market demand.In this context, we at EV also seize the opportunity and are committed to producing and selling cost-effective, durable and wear-resistant brake parts.
