Demands for more performance with minimal cost or weight penalties are pressurising brake system designers to come up with new ideas. New materials such as aluminium or ceramic discs have been closely studied, as have the friction materials themselves, plus better caliper designs, and four-pot calipers are now relatively commonplace. However, the main improvements in braking in recent years have come from electronic control, firstly ABS (anti-locking braking system), then EBA (emergency braking assistance). Technical advances into the brake-by-wire arena, such as electro-hydraulic braking (EHB) and electro-mechanical braking (EMB) are still in the early stages. It is said that brake-by-wire will lead to more effective and safer braking, eliminating bulky hydraulic technology, releasing space and reducing maintenance.
This review sets out forecast for product trends, fitment levels and market wholesale values for ABS, ESP, electric parking brake and electronic braking systems in Western Europe, North America and Japan through 2010. It also identifies some shares for those supplying both ABS and ESP markets. All in all, this report provides no less than 33 market volume and value forecasts by region and technology through 2010. Also included are recent innovations and the forces driving those technical advances. Brief profiles of the major electronic brake system manufacturers, namely Advics, Bosch, Continental Teves, Delphi and TRW are also provided.
