BRAKE SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE BRAKE SYSTEM

A brake system for a motor vehicle and a method for operating the brake system. The brake system comprises a braking assembly; a drive mechanism operatively connected to the braking assembly; and an electric motor assembly operatively connected to the drive mechanism, wherein the braking assembly, the drive mechanism and the electric motor assembly are configured to be located outside a wheel rim of a vehicle wheel of the motor vehicle and inside a frame body of the motor vehicle, and the drive mechanism is configured to be driven by the electric motor assembly to selectively enable the braking assembly to generate a braking force, by which an associated rotatable shaft of the motor vehicle can be stopped to rotate, while the motor vehicle is in motion.
