Electro-Hydraulic Brakes

Electro-hydraulic brake systems monitor and control every braking maneuver electronically.

Sensors measure the motion and driver's force on the brake pedal, and transmit that data to the control unit. A computer calculates the optimum hydraulic pressure for each wheel and applies exactly the amount of braking force needed.

See Demonstration

Advantages of the Electro-Hydraulic Brakes

  • Shorter braking and stopping distances
  • Optimized braking and stability behavior
  • Optimized pedal feel
  • No pedal vibration during ABS mode
  • Improved crash worthiness
  • Improved packaging, less installation effort
  • Capable of analyzing all required braking and stability functions
  • Can be easily networked with future traffic management systems

Components of the Electro-Hydraulic Brakes

  • Electronic control unit
  • Electronic pedal module with pedal feel simulator and sensors for monitoring driver settings
