According to foreign media reports, Chassis Brakes International has revealed that five major trends in the automotive industry will impact the braking technology of future sedans and light vehicles, as detailed below: Electrification — According to Bloomberg, electric vehicles are expected to account for 24% of all new car sales in the near future. Electrification and other emission reduction measures will help promote the application rate of electro-mechanical parking brakes (EMPB) and regenerative braking systems. Autonomous Driving — It is expected that by 2030, 35% of new cars will be autonomous vehicles (SAE L3-L5). Such vehicles require automated emergency brake systems, architectural redundancy, and hardware and software robustness. Future solutions will also adopt wire-controlled braking systems. Intelligent Connectivity — Intelligent connectivity is maturing towards vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V), the latter allowing vehicles to understand the driving positions of other vehicles. Future braking systems need to achieve electrification and be associated with the aforementioned systems. New Mobility — Emerging shared mobility with pay-per-use will integrate with smartphones, allowing intuitive operation to book autonomous taxis. By 2030, the profits from this trend may account for 40% of the total profits in the automotive industry, leading to an increased demand for mature braking technologies. Lightweighting — The automotive industry needs to reduce vehicle weight, and this demand will become increasingly urgent. Using lighter aluminum materials for brakes will help reduce vehicle weight without sacrificing passenger safety. To meet the performance, durability, and weight reduction needs of braking systems in the next 10-15 years, Chassis Brakes International believes that the automotive industry needs to shift towards wire-controlled intelligent braking system concept products, which will provide dry (wet) brake solutions, with redundancy on all four wheels.
