The megatrends of the mobility industries such as automated driving, electric drivetrains and other new mobility concepts have an impact on the requirements of modern braking systems. Performance, recuperation capability, increased braking comfort, weight, and a compact design are therefore becoming increasingly important.

In addition, issues such as redundancy, regenerative braking and interfaces need to be considered for an increasing number of braking functions. Electronic brake systems in particular include a number of these driver assistance functions such as ABS, traction control, ESP, Hill Start Assist, Cruise Control with brake intervention, ACC Stop & Go, Emergency Brake Assist or auto-stop function connected with parking brake. In fully automated vehicles, the so-called brake-by-wire technology is used, in which the “brake pedal” actuation device is even dispensed with.

All of this impacts the complexity of the braking system and ultimately influences the application effort for our test engineers. By combining real and virtual tests (simulation), we design the required process steps in a highly efficient manner, thereby reducing test and validation costs.

By choosing us as your brake technology partner, you will get exactly the braking system you need for your automotive project – executed as requested as high-end or standard braking system. Here we take into account the appropriate brake control system at an early stage of the concept phase and make sure that all legal requirements are fulfilled.

In addition, we assist you in coordination with homologation authorities, define when what will be done on which test tracks, prepare the car with measurement technology, and investigate wear and noise behavior.

As an agile and flexible development service provider with comprehensive vehicle expertise, we accompany you from the concept to the production maturity of your customized braking system for use in small series, niche, two-wheel and special vehicles as well as in industrial applications.
