BWI Group and thyssenkrupp Steering cooperate in the development of brake-by-wire technology

BWI Group, a global supplier to the automotive industry, and thyssenkrupp Steering, a global partner to the automotive industry for steering solutions, have agreed to cooperate on the development of brake-by-wire technology. The collaboration positions BWI Group and thyssenkrupp’s steering business as a Tier 1 supplier for future chassis architectures and autonomous driving.

The cooperation includes the licensing of the electro-mechanical braking technology (EMB) developed by thyssenkrupp Steering. The BWI Group will assume the role of manufacturer of the brake-by-wire system, utilizing its production facilities. The BWI Group is also responsible for marketing the system in order to make this technology available to a wider range of car manufacturers worldwide.

For the development of the system, the BWI Group draws on the intellectual property and many years of experience of thyssenkrupp Steering in the development of safety-relevant automotive components and software.

The BWI Group will contribute its expertise in the field of braking systems; thyssenkrupp Steering adds its know-how in new electrical/electronic (E/E) structures as well as its competence in electromechanical braking systems (EMB) derived from steering technology.

The cooperation is initially limited to seven years. However, the aim is to establish a long-term partnership that will focus on the development of market requirements in the area of vehicle motion control (VMC). In particular, the technical synergies of upcoming chassis solutions will be a driver for the future X-by-Wire chassis and enable the transformation from assisted to autonomous driving by improving safety, comfort and efficiency.
