Brake Colloquium Technical Program
The Brake Colloquium’s dual-track program – created by engineers for engineers – covers the entirety of brake componentry and will focus on the latest technologies and strategies being employed for ADAS, AVS safety systems in both ICE and Electric Propulsion Vehicles. Presentations and panels are led by high-level experts, standards developers, and solution providers from OEMS and Tier I & II suppliers. Make sure you are up to date on all regulations, standards, and technologies!
Main Focus Areas:
- Passenger Cars, Trucks & SUVs
- Commerical Vehicle
- Performance and Aftermarket Vehicles
Our technical program is being developed by engineering professionals from around the world. Please check back as the program details becomes available.
TUTORIAL: EURO-7 Standards: reducing road transport emissions beyond exhaust
When: Sunday |4:00 p.m. - 5:20 p.m.
Presenters (to provide a three-pronged perspective): Dr. Imad Khalek, Matt Robere, and Carlos Agudelo
Organizer: Prof. George P. Ostermeyer
Euro 7 is much more than an update to the limits from Euro 6. Euro 7 aims at a broad perspective of changes to ensure cleaner vehicles, improve air quality, and protect the health of EU citizens and the environment. To accomplish that, Euro 7 plans to include new brake emissions and microplastic regulations from tires, extend and make the different emissions tests more effective, migrate to digital compliance monitoring, and better market surveillance. Euro 7 establishes fuel- and technology-neutral emission limits, add pollutants, and defines a broader range of driving conditions for on-road tests. These apply to all cars, vans, trucks, and buses with internal combustion engines, electric, and plugin hybrid vehicles. This tutorial breaks down complex topics into three perspectives (independent research, vehicle manufacturing and homologation, and third-party services and testing systems). The tutorial dives into a) significant elements of the Euro 7, b) the requirements and why they were defined in such a way, c) what they mean for the vehicle value and supply chain, and d) the testing methods and systems, with emphasis on non-exhaust emissions. This is a must-attend tutorial for those interested or working towards complying with the upcoming Euro 7 limits.
