Braking specialist Brembo has developed a new technological solution that reduces brake dust emissions, thanks to an innovative coating. Such emission are likely to become a key environmental focus as vehicle exhaust pollution reduces due to electrification over the coming years.


Brembo Greentive is a new brake disc which features a new layer of coating applied to its ring, using High-Velocity-Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) technology. Brembo says, the name Greentive is a fusion of the words “GREEN” and “DISTINCTIVE”, with the former emphasising the disc’s environmentally friendly features and the latter highlighting its elegance and recognisability.

Thanks to its braking surface, Greentive ensures very low wear, significantly extending the disc life cycle. A reduction of brake dust contributes to a decrease in brake emissions as well as cleaner rims. The coating also offers a high level of corrosion resistance, a feature particularly appreciated in the new generation of electric cars, where the braking system is used differently.

Greentive discs stand out thanks to a mirroring effect, while the Brembo logo is featured on the brake ring surface, which not only enhances its Brembo identity but also signals when the disc needs to be replaced.

Brembo says Greentive embodies the most advanced technological solutions in terms of sustainability, while also providing consistently high levels of performance and a special attention to style. The new coating technology can be applicable on the brake ring of all Brembo disc concepts: solid, Lightweight, Dual Cast and two-piece floating discs.
