Brembo, the Italian brake supplier, and Michelin, the French tire manufacturer, have formed a new partnership to merge their technologies and insights.

Through the partnership, the companies combined Michelin's connected solutions software to provide tire grip data to Brembo's SENSIFY braking system. Engineers used the tire insights to fine-tune the braking system.

In the first testing phase, Michelin's tire models and algorithms were integrated with Brembo's intelligent braking models and vehicle simulations in a fully virtual environment. In the second phase, physical tests were conducted on tracks at Michelin's Research Center, where the simulation results were confirmed.

The tests demonstrated braking distance reductions up to 13 feet during ABS events, with the same tires in various conditions.
