Traditionally, vehicle emissions have been associated primarily with exhaust fumes. However, recent studies show that non-exhaust emissions , particularly those generated by brake wear, tires, and road abrasion, contribute significantly to urban air pollution. Brake dust alone is responsible for a large portion of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) found in city environments—particles small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs and cause respiratory and cardiovascular issues.

Brembo’s new braking system tackles this problem head-on. The company has developed a proprietary combination of materials and surface treatments for brake discs and pads that dramatically reduces the amount of metal particles released during braking. These advanced components are designed to wear more evenly and produce fewer airborne particles without compromising performance or safety.
