High performance ABS brake systems have been successfully introduced in the market because car manufacturers and drivers have recognized the important safety function of these systems. In the beginning of ABS introduction only luxury vehicles where equipped with ABS because of the high additional cost. Today there is a requirement to install such systems also down to the medium and even compact vehicle class. Therefore it became a necessity to develop an ABS-system which meets the requirements of car manufacturers and drivers concerning performance, comfort and especially cost. After successfully introducing the Mk II ABS system a new cost reduced system named ABS Mk IV went into series production in 1989. Basic principle, performance, safety aspects and comfort are similar to the Mk II system but for cost reduction reasons it has become an add-on system with vacuum boosted actuation. The system is adaptable to all base brake system layouts and can also easily be extended to traction control function.
