Germany’s ZF has said it plans to launch electric brakes in the U.S. market by 2028.
What happened
According to Nikkei xTECH, Germany’s ZF plans to launch electric brakes (EMB) in the U.S. market around 2028. Germany’s Aumovio and Japan’s Advics and Astemo are also advancing development.
Why it matters
The timing could help automakers and parts suppliers designing controls for autonomous driving assess when to adopt electric brakes. Nikkei xTECH reported that ZF plans a U.S. launch around 2028 and cited the growing potential to leverage their rapid response in end-to-end autonomous driving development as a factor behind the accelerated development.
