Introduction / Advantages of EBS EBS 1.
Introduction Increased brake safety
The demands made on braking systems are increasing WABCO did not only take existing regulations into

an electronic braking system (EBS) is a logical step. given to safety and user advantages. This is why a
vehicle with EBS can clearly do more than is required by
EBS increases traffic safety through reduced stopping law.

and surveillance functions as well as the display of brake
lining wear offer an effective fleet logistics.
The high safety quality attributed to EBS is due to
