"Making driving safer" the purpose of Knorr-Bremse Group

  The Knorr-Bremse Group is the global market leader in braking systems and a leading supplier of other key systems for rail vehicles and commercial vehicles. The products of the Knorr-Bremse Group have made outstanding contributions to the improvement of global rail and road traffic safety and energy efficiency.

  "Make driving safer" the purpose of Knorr-Bremse Group.

   On the one hand, Knorr-Bremse cooperates with the world's leading commercial vehicle manufacturers; on the other hand, Knorr-Bremse supports small and medium-sized enterprises with the company's system expertise to meet the needs of various complete vehicle manufacturers.

   As a benchmark electronic brake product in the industry, Knorr-Bremse EBS+ESP technology is the world's leading technology with high reliability and comprehensive functions. It is the safe choice for commercial vehicles.

   Five advantages of Knorr-Bremse EBS+ESP program

1. Electronic braking force distribution according to vehicle load conditions;

2. The wear of the friction plate is less and the degree of wear is consistent;

3. Faster response time;

4. The brake pedal experience is like riding a car;

5. Anti-rollover;

  Knorr-Bremse EBS product platform is the first system platform in the world to realize modular design. The control unit ECU can support cab and frame installation, and can meet the application of various models. Based on this platform, it can be expanded to Electronic Steering Stability Control ESP function.

  EBS (Electronic Brake System) integrates the basic functions of brake control, ABS and ASR into one electronic system. In addition, compared with traditional pneumatic systems, the advantages of electronic control systems are reflected in shorter response times and braking distances, thereby improving road traffic safety. The electronic brake system EBS has additional functions, such as wear adjustment function, vehicle slowing function and coupling force control function (CFC), which combines the braking power of the trailer with the braking power of the towing vehicle when a combined vehicle is braked. well fit together. Knorr-Bremse Brake Systems supplies EBS and CFC for all vehicle types including trailer vehicles.

  Extending EBS through ESP (Electronic Stability Program) can automatically stabilize the vehicle in dangerous driving situations, thereby significantly reducing the risk of vehicle tipping and sideslipping. In dangerous situations, ESP can be used to automatically correct the driving direction and speed of the entire tractor. By selectively actuating the individual wheel brakes and engine control systems, ESP provides automatic support to the driver in hazardous situations. It can be said that commercial vehicles equipped with ESP are smarter in braking than passive ABS and ASR systems.

  Specifically, the ESP function includes two major sub-functions, namely steering control and roll stabilization program (RSP).

The steering control function is to assist the driver to ensure the stability and maneuverability of the main vehicle and the trailer when turning in the case of excessive braking or insufficient braking, and to prevent accidents caused by insufficient or excessive turning.

  In addition, the Knorr-Bremse EBS+ESP combination solution is also an ideal choice for pure electric commercial vehicles. It can realize pure electric vehicle braking control and anti-rollover while ensuring energy saving and reducing battery energy consumption.
