Technology that delivers economy
 
Scania disc brakes
 
   
 
The role of EBS electronic control.

EBS provides the best possible control of the brake system. It gives instantaneous actuation and release of the brakes. This makes the brakes more efficient. And it saves fuel, because fast and simultaneous release of the brake overcomes ‘brake drag’. Brake drag occurs when release on some axles is momentarily delayed (a traditional air system reacts slower than electronic actuation). Acceleration after braking thus requires less fuel. EBS also provides better interaction of the anti-lock system and TC (traction control) system.
