Trailer Electronic Braking System
Industry first EBS for trailers increasing commercial vehicle safety and efficiency
KEY FACTS
What can Trailer Electronic Braking System provide?
Market-leading electronic braking system (EBS) for trailers provides a broad range of braking and suspension functions. The system optimizes brake force distribution adjusted to varying vehicle conditions and controls the trailer’s chassis height allowing for automatic and customized adjustment. Furthermore, ZF’s trailer EBS supports tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) compliant with latest European General Safety Regulation (GSR II) by fast data transmission to the driver’s dashboard.
