With the increasing demands on commercial vehicles in the last few decades the air-brake system too has been continuously improved. As a supplement to the reliable valve technology, electronic systems such as ABS (Anti-lock brake system) and ASR (Automatic traction control system) have ensured safer driving in recent years. Further progress in the brake system will be achieved by increasing the brake-air pressure level and using disk brakes on all vehicle axles. In addition to this the performance, operating convenience and economic efficiency of the brake system can be increased by the use of an electro-pneumatic brake system in which compressed-air actuated wheel brakes are activated via electrical control signals and integrated pressure control circuits. Optimized ABS/ASR functions are integrated in the new system.
