Mando Wins Innovation Award at CES 2022 for Advanced Brake System

Mando's concept vehicle equipped with fully autonomous driving system IDB2 HAD & SbW

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Mando announced on the 4th that it won the Innovation Award at 'CES 2022,' the world's largest home appliance and IT exhibition, with its cutting-edge brake system.

Following last year, Mando won the Innovation Award in the ‘VIT (Vehicle Intelligence & Transportation)’ category for the second time with its latest entry, the advanced Integrated Electronic Brake System (IDB2).

Mando’s IDB2, which realized the world’s first integrated (1-box) electronic brake, continues to operate normally even if a brake malfunction occurs during driving, thanks to the application of dual safety (malfunction prevention) technology.

Using the E-brake pedal, it is also possible to ‘auto stow’ by folding or unfolding the pedal when needed. In terms of vehicle design space optimization technology, IDB2 is said to resemble Mando’s last year’s award-winning SbW (Steer by Wire).

The company emphasized that the electric hyperconnectivity, namely ‘IDB2,’ is another product of Mando’s ‘by-Wire’ (electrical connection) technology that eliminates mechanical connections, and together with SbW, it allows drivers of fully autonomous vehicles to enjoy various freedoms in daily life.

IDB2 also has the advantage of being an eco-friendly product. Conventional brakes are system products composed of ESC (Electronic Stability Control), master booster (brake booster), vacuum pump, etc., and the brake pedal is mechanically connected.

The mechanical structure operates only when the driver applies force, and braking force is generated through hydraulic lines. Structurally, it occupies a lot of engine room space and also requires a long installation time.

IDB2 integrates these individual system products into one box, reducing weight and eliminating the manufacturing processes of individual products.

A company official stated, "Mando’s EV and autonomous driving solution technology has once again been recognized worldwide by winning the Innovation Award at ‘CES 2022,’" and added, "Mando plans to introduce a new concept ‘BbW (Brake by Wire)’ product equipped with IDB2 to the public in 2023."
