Hyundai Creta becomes best-selling SUV for FY25

Brembo and Michelin team up to launch smart brake tech for future-ready cars. Check details

In an era increasingly characterized by advanced, interconnected vehicles, two leading automotive companies, Brembo—renowned for its high-performance braking solutions—and Michelin, a key player in the tyre industry, are collaborating to transform the interaction between modern vehicles and the road. This initiative goes beyond merely enhancing brake performance; it aims to foster an intelligent driving experience. Traditional brake systems rely on mechanical linkages and hydraulic pressure. In contrast, Brembo's innovative Sensify system introduces a digital, predictive model that adapts in real-time. Instead of a single, uniform response, braking is customized for each wheel, driven by data and electric actuation. The objective is to achieve precise control, improved safety, and seamless integration with next-generation vehicle systems.
