Alumina-coated Brake Discs with Intention for Reduced Non-exhaust Emission and Increased Ride Comfort of Electrical Vehicles

Regenerative brake, disc coatings or pad formulations with new tribology aim to avoid generating brake wear particulates on one hand. On the other hand, vacuum and filter systems aim to collect the particulate matter for disposal. This paper will briefly describe the non-exhaust emission (NEE) and corrosion issues of brake systems of electrical vehicles (EV). The methods reported for NEE reduction will then be concisely reviewed. A new …
