The ‘Beyond’ family of innovative solutions from braking specialist Brembo guarantees significant environmental and cost savings for customers and forms a key part of its mission to lead the way in sustainable mobility.

Brembo is committed to providing braking solutions that significantly improve the driving dynamics of new mobility vehicles, while also reducing their overall environmental footprint and saving money for their owners.

The Brembo Beyond EV Kit comprises a range of first-to-market pads and discs that are tailor-made for the most popular electric cars on the road. Because battery electric vehicles use regenerative braking in addition to traditional dissipative braking, the friction brakes are used less. Over time, this means the brake components can become rusty, affecting safety and escalating maintenance costs. Brembo’s goal was to create an EV brake kit that was effective, silent and long-lasting, as well as being lightweight and corrosion resistant. Beyond EV pads and discs are designed to meet these criteria, applying many of the technological advances pioneered for the OE market. 

The EV pad features a dedicated, highly durable copper-free friction material and galvanized backing plate which reduce dust and noise when braking. The Beyond EV discs also receive a special anti-corrosion treatment on their braking surface. Together, the combined system guarantees highly efficient, extended braking performance for electric cars, along with rust protection beyond 100,000 km. The fact that Brembo has created a Beyond EV Kit for all the most popular battery electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles on the road underlines their Aftermarket potential, offering products dedicated to Tesla Models 3, S, X and Y, Audi e-tron, Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf and BMW i3, to name just some of the applications covered.

The second line forming part of the Beyond family is the Brembo Beyond Greenance Kit. This solution eco-friendly discs and pads is engineered to bring customers cost savings and environmental advantages. Each Kit consists of a special alloy brake disc designed for high wear resistance, partnered with a brake pad featuring a unique friction compound. The particulate emissions usually produced by brake deployment are slashed by 80% around and the expected lifetime of the disc is tripled vs a standard aftermarket solution. This leads to cost savings averaging 15% over the total life of the vehicle. 

Greenance Kits are available for the most popular European LCV models, such as the Ford Transit, VW Transporter, Renault Master, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Renault Trafic, Peugeot Expert, Citroën Jumper and Fiat Ducato and the most important cars used for fleet and business. This means some 70% car parc coverage.
