FISITA shares Q&As with many of the EuroBrake 2020 Technical Programme authors

All of the abstracts, papers and posters for the limited EuroBrake 2020 Technical Programme are available on this site. Several speakers have also recorded videos of their presentations and ten of these have already been uploaded - we’ll update more on these in the next issue of BrakingNews. To highlight the content in the 2020 Technical Programme, FISITA asked many of the authors a few questions and these are featured in the below FISITA Spotlight posts:
