The EPB and EHP are electronically regulated systems we offer whose performance goes far beyond the function of conventional parking brakes:

The Electric Parking Brake EPB

The EPB consists of an electronic controller and an electro-mechanical central actuator which actuates duo-servo brakes or a combined caliper via Bowden cables. The advantages demonstrated by the EPB compared to conventional parking brakes:

• Improved operational safety
• Simple operation
• No hand or foot lever
• Diagnostic system
• Reduced installation workload
• Simple initiation of operational status
• Emergency braking function if the service brake system fails
• EPB emergency function via the service brake system in connection with ESC (Electronic Stability Control = ESP Electronic Stability Program)

The Electro-Hydraulic Parking Brake EHP

The EHP is a space-saving alternative to the EPB integrated in the brake caliper. It consists of an Electronic Brake System (EBS) with the capability of developing its own pressure and an electrically operated combined caliper (FNec), which is hydraulically pretensioned by the EBS and then locked electro-mechanically. Advantages:

• Removal of all mechanical transmission units
• A low system weight and an ptimized packaging

Additional functions

The following optional additional functions can be achieved on the EHP and EPB when used in combination with the electronic brake system:

• Automatic tightening and loosening
• Hill Start Assist
• Automatic Vehicle Hold
• Parking assistance if combined with a distance sensor system
• Vehicle immobilizer
