ESCsmart
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Key Facts
What can ESCsmart provide?
This Electronic Stability Control system supports the truck or bus driver to keep the commercial vehicle stable especially in dynamic driving maneuvers. The system automatically intervenes where vehicle stability enters a critical phase. By this means ESCsmart helps to protect the vehicle against rollover, skidding and – in case of a truck-trailer combination - jackknifing.
