Brembo and Michelin have signed a global agreement to exploit the full potential of their intelligent solutions to revolutionize vehicle performance and offer drivers the highest safety and comfort standards.
For this partnership, Michelin and Brembo combined their expertise: excellence in braking systems, vehicle modeling and artificial intelligence for Brembo; leadership in tire modeling and algorithm development for Michelin. The company’s say innovation relies on the continuous exchange of real-time data between Michelin’s connected solutions software, which provides tire grip data to Brembo's innovative Sensify braking system. These unique tire insights enable engineers to fine-tune the braking system with exceptional precision, further enhancing Sensify’s characteristics.
“We are thrilled to join forces with a brand like Brembo, a leader in its field. Our shared passion for innovation and excellence allows us to take a new step forward in enhancing user safety,” says Serge Lafon, president of the business line, Automotive Original Equipment at Michelin. “Allowing customers to keep their tires in use as long as possible with total peace of mind is a core objective of Michelin, thus protecting their purchasing power as well as the environment. Today, Michelin is a ‘data-driven company’ where simulation and software development are essential tools in the real-time monitoring of tires. Together, Michelin and Brembo are building a unique solution for the vehicles of the future, developed today by the car markers.”
Michelin’s tire connected solutions rely on the Group’s recognized expertise in their tire physics modeling and simulation used in tire development. Thanks to their unique know-how in live vehicle data analysis, Michelin has developed a software portfolio able to provide real-time information to the car, such as wear (Michelin SmartWear), load (Michelin SmartLoad) and grip (Michelin SmartGrip). Michelin’s software works with all tire brands.
Brembo’s Sensify sets a new benchmark for braking systems, natively developed for any modern vehicle. Its high flexibility, scalability and adaptability make it easy to integrate into any model. Sensify combines Brembo’s world-renowed braking components with a digital brain that leverages AI, algorithms and sensors to independently control each wheel. The result is one of the most advanced braking systems, designed to deliver an exceptional driving experience and enhanced safety.
