Automotive manufacturers are developing new braking technologies to comply with upcoming Euro 7 emission standards, which aim to limit particulate matter from brake wear.

Schaeffler has introduced an oil-immersed multi-disc brake system. This technology uses a sealed, closed housing where steel and friction discs remain submerged in oil, preventing fine particles from being released into the environment. This system is intended to protect components from external elements like water and dirt.

Following this, ZF unveiled the MAXX Uniper, a pneumatic disc brake designed for heavy commercial vehicles. When paired with a specially coated rotor, the system can reduce brake particle emissions by up to 65%. The modular design is intended for global heavy vehicle platforms, with production expected to start in 2027.
