BREMBO’S NEW GREENTIVE® BRAKE DISC
A technological solution that reduces the brake dust emissions, thanks to an innovative coating.
Brembo presents Greentive®, the new brake disc which features a new layer of coating applied to its ring, using High-Velocity-Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) technology.
Decades of experience in the field of braking system has allowed Brembo to introduce a new disc with high technological characteristics. Designed especially to meet the demands of premium and luxury cars, the new disc is at the forefront of the latest automotive trends.
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.
Moreover, the coating 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.
In regard to style, Greentive® stands out thanks to a mirroring effect that exudes elegance and personality. This is further emphasised by the Brembo logo featured on the brake ring surface, which not only enhances its Brembo identity but also signals when the disc needs to be replaced.
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.
Brembo begins its new journey to become a solution provider
Today, on the innovative digital platform Brembo Next, Brembo – the global leader in braking systems – announced a journey to become a Solution Provider through smart, more sustainable and digital products and services.
This new approach follows Brembo’s new vision for the future, “Turning Energy into Inspiration”, by which the Company plans to increase its competitiveness and ensure its long-term viability. The automotive industry is facing unprecedented challenges: electrification, autonomous driving, digitalization are increasing the pressure on all players. Brembo believes this is the right time to break new ground in the future of the market and support its partners to overcome these challenges.
Brembo’s new mission is to become a Solution Provider, integrating its products and services into harmonic, all-round solutions to meet the rapidly evolving needs of the automotive industry.

Upon presenting the new strategy, Brembo unveiled two new solutions.
The Greentive® disc, which features a special coating, high level of corrosion resistance and a unique mirror effect. Greentive® is the result of years of research and development that aim to further reduce particle emissions.
The emphasis on addressing the need of a more sustainable mobility is also mirrored in the ENESYS Energy Saving System®, an innovative spring solution, that reduces residual drag and contributes to CO2 reductions.
