Electronic Braking System (EBS)
Electronic activation of the EBS braking components clearly reduces response and pressure build-up times in brake cylinders. This in turn reduces braking distance by several meters, which can be decisive in some situations. The integrated ABS function ensures driving stability and steerability throughout the braking procedure.
Features
- Electronic activation of all braking system components
- Retarder and engine brake integration into the service brake application
- Brake force distribution adapts to load distribution
- Brake compatibility between tractor and trailer
- Comfortable deceleration control
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Differential Slip Control (DSR)
- Automatic Traction Control (ATC)
- Continuous self-testing via integrated diagnostic and monitoring functions
Benefits
- Increased braking comfort
- Superior vehicle safety
- Optimized brake wear
- Easier maintenance
Optional additions
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which independently intervenes to adjust engine and brake controls to reduce rollover, skidding, spinning and jack-knifing
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) , include the auto cruise funcition with driver alert system that automatically monitors traffic and senses distance from the vehicle in front
System types
EBS Evolution
- Open-structured" platform of:
- Brake signal transmitter
- Central module
- Proportional relay valve
- Rear-axle modulator
- Trailer control valve (optional)
- 2P/1E system consisting of a single-circuit electro-pneumatic section, supported by a dual-circuit pneumatic section as a redundancy
EBS Compact
- Integrates three components into a Central Brake Unit (CBU):
- Proportional relay valve
- Brake signal transmitter
- Central module
- 1P/1E system consisting of a single-circuit electro-pneumatic section with a secondary single circuit, pneumatically-operated section as a redundancy (i.e. backup)
