Technological innovation of core brake components promotes vehicle safety and performance upgrades

The core components of the automotive braking system are experiencing a new round of technological breakthroughs, which directly affect the safety and driving experience of the vehicle. As the core of friction, the material technology of brake discs and brake pads continues to upgrade. High-performance composite materials and ceramic formulas are widely used, which significantly improve the high temperature resistance and wear resistance, effectively shorten the braking distance, and reduce annoying noise and dust.

The design of brake calipers has evolved synchronously. Lightweight aluminum alloy materials have become the mainstream, effectively reducing the unsprung mass while ensuring rigidity. Multi-piston configurations are becoming increasingly popular, bringing more powerful and linear braking force output, and with high-performance brake pads, the confidence in control is doubled.

Hydraulic control systems are moving towards intelligence. The popularity of electronic parking brakes (EPB) has increased, and the integrated automatic parking function has improved convenience; brake-by-wire technology (BBW) has emerged, laying the foundation for fast and accurate response for high-level intelligent driving.

The industry consensus is clear: the continuous innovation of the three core components of brake discs/pads, calipers, and hydraulic systems is the key to meeting the increasing weight of new energy vehicles and the demand for intelligent driving. These technological advances are redefining the active safety benchmark of modern cars and becoming the cornerstone of protecting driving safety.
