In late 1996, Daimler-Benz together with WABCO and Scania together with Bosch presented the first electronically controlled brake systems (EBS) in their towing vehicles. Since then roughly 2000 ACTROS per month have been produced with EBS. Compared with conventional European brake systems, electronically controlled brake systems for trailers contain less components and are easier to install and check. The technical advantages of EBS combined with the increased application of disc brakes, are: improved safety through shortened stopping distance, better vehicle stability and brake comfort optimized brake monitoring and higher profitability.
