Welcome

The world’s largest conference and exhibition dedicated to braking technology.

EuroBrake was created in 2012 to address the profound changes in the demands made by the braking industry’s customers and end-users, and to provide a forum for companies, engineers and academics working in the area of brake technology to come together to share ideas.

Following seven years of growth, EuroBrake has become established as the world’s largest technical event of its kind, attended by 1,200 delegates in 2019, with a significant technical programme of 150 technical presentations and featuring 100 international organisations within the exhibition. EuroBrake attracts a global audience of engineers, scientists, academics and executives from the industries of passenger car, commercial vehicle, rail and the wider industrial sectors.

We invite you to join us at EuroBrake 2020, which will take place in Barcelona, Spain, one of the world’s leading connected, cultural and historical destinations.

EuroBrake 2020 is set to be another record-braking year, so why not come sponsor or exhibit at the event for the opportunity to reach an influential audience of braking specialists, to share knowledge and to connect with decision-makers from leading companies around the world.

Offering an enviable climate and world-leading hub for business, Barcelona has direct links with many of the world’s Capital cities, via air, road, rail and sea, making EuroBrake 2020 extremely accessible.

Presenting at this international and highly regarded conference is your opportunity to reach an influential audience of braking specialists, to share knowledge and to connect with decision-makers from leading companies around the world. The Call for Papers will be published soon so keep an eye out for its announcement in BrakingNews!

On behalf of FISITA and the EuroBrake Steering Committee, we invite you to participate in EuroBrake 2020, and we look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona next year.
