Volvo Improves Braking Functions

Volvo Improves Braking FunctionsVolvo Improves Braking FunctionsAuthor: Kenneth Mckinley To increase road safety, Volvo, a world-leading Swedish auto manufacturer, improves its braking functions for the European market. If customers choose a Volvo truck with electronically controlled Brake System (EBS) in base form, more functions are incorporated to it without the burden of paying extra cost. Among the additional features now made available by the automaker are Hill Start Aid that prevents the truck from rolling backward when starting on an uphill gradient, and Wheel Brake Monitoring that alerts the driver if the brake force on the wheels abruptly falls. The EBS system incorporated in Volvo trucks can be ordered in 3 program packages: Standard, Medium and High. The Standard package remains in the base version. Moreover, the Medium version is already equipped with the EBS system. Moreover, the base version has been upgraded with six new functions, available for both semi-trailers and rigids. Power bleed Volvo brakes are now upgraded to boost safety in driving.

Volvo Improves Braking Functions"We are now providing our customers with an extremely high safety level as standard, no matter the type of truck they order," said Lars-Gran Lwenadler, safety director at Volvo Trucks. "This is entirely in line with our constant determination to increase safety for drivers and other road-users alike." EBS system has a number of sensors and valves to monitor and regulate the braking system of the vehicle.
