Blubrake ha ricevuto un investimento nel capitale sociale nell’ambito del Green Transition Fund del PNRR, finanziato dall’Unione europea NextGenerationEU, per lo scale-up produttivo del suo ABS brevettato per e-bike e veicoli elettrici leggeri.

Blubrake ha raccolto 12 milioni di euro in un round co-guidato da Algebris Climatech, Fundracer BV e Tri-Star per scalare la produzione e accelerare l’adozione su larga scala del suo ABS per e-bike e veicoli elettrici leggeri.

Tests carried out by Swiss Touring Club (TCS) proved e-bikes and e-cargo bikes fitted with an ABS improve safety, manoeuvrability, and stability. The Swiss association determined how an ABS (anti-lock braking system) reduces braking distance and avoids front wheel lock-up even on slippery terrains.

• The anti-lock braking system (ABS) solutions developed by Blubrake make light electric vehicles (LEVs) safer, significantly reducing road accidents and facilitating the adoption of alternative means of transport that contribute to the development of more sustainable mobility, such as e-bikes.
• The EIB funding will help expand the adoption of ABS technology in the e-bike market, supporting the industrial investments needed to increase Blubrake's production capacity.
• Over the past five years, the EIB has invested more than €5.4 billion in Italy to promote sustainable mobility.

How effective is the anti-lock braking system in preventing e-bike accidents? The BFU, the Swiss Center for Accidents prevention, conducted an extensive test to investigate it
