The Future looks SAFER
The Need for Advanced Braking Systems
The requirements of next-generation vehicles are leading towards a more connected and software-defined vehicle. Upgrades and advancements in software and controls will define vehicle performance and safety as opposed to upgrades in hardware design.
As the next-generation vehicle advances and evolves, it demands greater capabilities out of its braking system; and current hydraulic-based systems are falling behind. The future brake system will be a modular, electrified system that will deliver more than just stopping power. It will be a brake system that will enable manufactures to transform vehicle dynamic controls and improve vehicle safety through software changes. Enter the Remmen NEMB System: An electro-mechanical brake system for the future of transportation.
A true Brake-by-Wire System for the next generation of vehicles
The World's First Fully-Digital Service Brake System
Fully digital brake system that uses ZERO brake fluid.
A fully digital system with built-in redundancy: mechanical, electrical, and optional mechanical backup
Less power is required to achieve the maximum clamping force compared to competing Electro-Mechanical Brake systems
Over 50% reduction in reaction time to full braking compared to the next-best braking technology.
Expect an average direct cost savings of 10% compared to state of the art hydraulic braking systems.
Hardware and Software in Harmony
NEMB & Irene
Each caliper is powered by a Brushless Direct Current motors and has no need for hydraulic or pneumatic components. This allows the system to achieve commanded brake torque faster, more reliably, and more precisely than competing systems… Imagine a brake system that does not need to pulse for ABS!
Redundant Power
The NEMB can operate off 12V to 48V power systems. The ideal power delivery consists of a main and auxiliary power source. In case of complete failure, a final method of actuation is mechanical via a lever mechanism in the vehicle’s cabin.
1 of 5Brake Units
One NEMB Caliper at each wheel in a Smart Actuator configuration. Each caliper is controlled by Irene, our Intelligent Brake Control Software. The calipers use conventional foundation brake components coupled with our NEMB technology to deliver a software-enabled braking system.
2 of 5Existing Brake-by-Wire Pedal
The NEMB system can run with any existing electric pedal to deliver braking intent to the vehicle controls module. Alternatively, a direct brake signal can also be issued to the NEMB from the pedal.
3 of 5Vehicle Controls Module
The Vehicle Controls Module orchestrates vehicle dynamics controls. It issues signals to the NEMB System based on driver intent, vehicle safety requirements, and driving requirements. The NEMB System easily integrates with OEM’s Vehicle Controls Modules.
4 of 5Harness
No hydraulic tubing is required. Instead a harness delivering power and two signal connections (CAN or Ethernet) is used.

Benefits for the Next-Generation
Safer with Redundancy
A much safer system than current braking systems due to greater redundancy in its design.
- Stage 1: Mechanically redundant with fully independent calipers
- Stage 2: Electrical/electronically redundant
- Stage 3: (Optional) Mechanical actuation as backup
Stop Over 3 Meters Shorter
Get to maximum braking 50% faster than the state-of-the-art hydraulic brake system. This means shorter stopping distances by over 3m from 100km/h (62mph)
Full Wheel-turning Capabilities
Fits easily under most wheel ends and allows full range of steering angles
More On-Vehicle Space
No pumps, boosters, lines, master cylinders, reservoirs or other hydraulic components. Save space on the vehicle for other things.
Efficient & Regenerative
Use up to 55% less power to actuate and feed back power to the vehicle battery when the brake is released
RZD© & Reduced Emissions
Remmen Zero-Drag (RZDTM) offers zero residual brake drag which improves vehicle efficiency by up to 10%
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Reduce brake particulate emissions (Euro-7)
- Enhanced mileage and range.
Hydraulics + NEMB
The NEMB easily integrates into a vehicle as a hybrid-hydraulic brake system. This set-up is beneficial for commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles used by body-builders and third party modifiers.
