Brembo Begins Series Production of Sensify, Its Fluid‑Free Brake‑by‑Wire System

The rollout points to a shift toward software‑run, per‑wheel braking built for finer control with simpler integration.

Overview

  • Brembo says its Sensify system has moved into series production for a leading global automaker, though it is not naming the brand or model.
  • The setup removes brake fluid, lines, and a master cylinder by reading pedal input with sensors and sending commands to control units at each wheel.
  • Electric actuators apply force independently at each corner, which Brembo says sharpens modulation, boosts stability on mixed‑grip surfaces, and smooths hard stops.
  • The company reports multiple customers and forecasts outfitting hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year, while early applications remain under nondisclosure.
  • Sensify is built to plug into driver‑assist and self‑driving stacks, and coverage notes the software‑controlled behavior could cut maintenance and allow future tuning by update.
