Introduction to EuroBrake
Braking systems are among the most critically
important and technically challenging features
for automotive and mobility systems engineers.

The industry is under constant pressure to

develop efficient braking systems that:

• Improve safety
• Conserve energy
• Reduce harmful emissions

#EuroBrake18
Introduction to EuroBrake
Industry called for greater collaboration and knowledge sharing among the world’s
braking experts from every sector including passenger cars, commercial vehicles,
rail, aerospace and industrial applications.

An annual conference was the solution, based in Europe, renowned for its world-
leading research, development and manufacture of high technology braking
systems.

EuroBrake was established, bringing together industry and academia to present

their latest work, discuss new ideas, debate future directions and find solutions to
our common problems – led by a global Steering Committee of braking experts.
