WABCO premiered its enhanced Electronic Braking System for trailers, the Trailer EBS E generation, which the company says offers a high level of integration that paves the way for simpler trailer braking.
A new robust connector helps the system withstand the harsh demands of a trailer’s daily life, while fewer components allow for simpler and faster installation, the company said. Fleet operators also benefit from improved reliability, enhanced trailer management functions and reduced maintenance costs.
Trailer EBS E will be available in two versions, standard and premium, each prepared for upgrade with the new extension module.
“Building on WABCO’s unmatched experience of 400,000 Trailer EBS systems sold worldwide, our Trailer EBS E generation revolutionizes trailer braking systems – cutting down installation and maintenance costs through a reduced number of parts and fittings,” said Nick Rens, WABCO vice president Trailer Systems. “We have also enhanced the functional range and integrated additional trailer features, such as Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) in the premium Trailer EBS modulator. Our comprehensive trailer information functions will make trailer management more economical and contribute to vehicle safety.”
The WABCO Trailer EBS E is designed to offer maximum flexibility to trailer builders and their customers. The standard version of the new Trailer EBS E features all the usual EBS functions and comes with roll stability support and an advanced operating data recorder with extended data storage capacity. The premium version includes ECAS and functions, such as mechanical suspension with height sensor and additional generic input/output. Both the standard and premium versions can be customized to meet individual requirements.
