A Global Partnership for Safer Roads

Michelin, a world leader in tyre manufacturing and composite innovation, has partnered with Brembo, a global authority in the design and production of advanced braking systems. Together, they aim to revolutionise vehicle performance by integrating their intelligent solutions to provide drivers with unparalleled safety and comfort.

By combining their unique expertise – Michelin in tyre modelling and algorithm development, and Brembo in braking systems, vehicle modelling, and artificial intelligence – this partnership promises groundbreaking advancements in automotive safety.

Combining Expertise for Unmatched Performance

The collaboration relies on the seamless exchange of real-time data between Michelin’s cutting-edge tyre software and Brembo’s innovative SENSIFY® braking system. Michelin’s connected solutions provide essential tyre grip data, which Brembo uses to enhance its braking system with exceptional precision.

Michelin’s contributions are built on decades of expertise in tyre physics modelling and simulation. The company has developed advanced software capable of delivering real-time data on key metrics such as:

  • Tyre wear through Michelin SmartWear
  • Load capacity with Michelin SmartLoad
  • Grip levels via Michelin SmartGrip

This software, compatible with tyres of any brand, gives car manufacturers the tools needed to maximise safety and efficiency.

On the other hand, Brembo’s SENSIFY® combines traditional braking components with a sophisticated digital system. Leveraging AI, algorithms, and sensors, it independently controls each wheel, ensuring faster responses, enhanced stability, and a smoother driving experience.

Promising Results in Braking Innovation

The results of this partnership are already showing significant potential. Initial tests – conducted both virtually and in the field – indicate a reduction in braking distances of up to four metres (13 feet), regardless of tyre wear or road conditions.

Testing Process

  1. Virtual Simulations: Michelin’s tyre models and algorithms were integrated with Brembo’s intelligent braking simulations.
  2. Physical Trials: Tests at Michelin’s Research Centre confirmed the simulations' accuracy, validating the system's exceptional performance in real-world scenarios.
