Brembo develops brake calipers made from recycled aluminum
Brembo has developed a new aluminum alloy made entirely from recycled material that is used in the production of brake calipers. According to the company, it reduces life cycle CO₂ emissions by 70 percent compared to conventional alloys. The first customers are already being supplied and the changeover is ongoing internationally. The brake calipers retain their usual design features and will now bear the new “ALU” trademark. For the brake calipers currently in production, Brembo will continue to use conventional aluminum until the end of their product life, but will prefer aluminum made with renewable energy.
