Summary
As electric vehicles gain traction, efforts to reduce particulate emissions have shifted to alternative sources like tires and brakes. In Europe, the upcoming Euro 7 standard will set stricter limits on emissions for all new vehicles, including EVs, starting next year. Brembo has developed Greentell, a brake and pad system that cuts brake dust emissions by 90% while improving durability. VP of disc technical development Fabiano Carminati explained how the company invested years to create this greener solution for mass-market applications, balancing performance with environmental benefits.
