Compared to the operation of conventional braking systems, by depressing the brake pedal with the Electro Hydraulic Brake System EHB the appropriate command is transmitted electronically to the electronic controller of the hydraulic unit. This determines the optimum braking pressure and actuates the brake calipers hydraulically.

Components of the EHB

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

Advantages of the EHB

• 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 realizing all required braking and stability functions such as ABS, EBD, TCS, ESP, BA, ACC etc.
• Can be easily networked with future traffic management systems
