A heavy-duty vehicle has a first set of metallic brakes and a second set of non-metallic brakes having lower weight than the metallic brakes. A processor device is configured to acquire prediction data indicative of an upcoming brake event that is expected to occur along a road on which the vehicle is travelling; determine, based on the prediction data, an expected value of kinetic energy that will be absorbed during said upcoming brake event; select, based on said determined expected value of kinetic energy, which one of the first and second sets of brakes that is to be activated to absorb kinetic energy during said upcoming brake event; and control the selected set of brakes to be activated during said brake event, wherein the other set of brakes remains inactivated during said brake event.
