Overview
- Brembo said its Sensify brake‑by‑wire system has entered large‑scale production for a leading global automaker, with the brand and model kept confidential under a non‑disclosure agreement.
- The company reported new contracts and forecast supply in the hundreds of thousands of units per year once more vehicles adopt the system.
- Sensify removes brake fluid, lines, and a master cylinder, using a pedal sensor, electronic control units, and an actuator at each wheel to apply and fine‑tune braking force.
- The software can update over the air, adjust pedal feel and braking response, and tie into driver‑assist features that manage stability and regenerative braking on EVs.
- Brembo highlights safety and upkeep gains, citing dual ECUs for front and rear axles, redundant actuator windings, and the end of fluid changes or leak risks after a century of hydraulic brakes.
