Advanced safety systems such as full-stability and collision mitigation technology occupy a growing part of the commercial vehicle landscape: Fleets are adopting them in greater numbers, and electronic stability control (ESC) systems will be required on most new Class 7 and 8 commercial vehicles under National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rules taking effect next year. Air disc brake usage continues to increase as well, with fleets often pairing them with advanced safety systems for optimal performance.
As part of its Bendix Tech Tips series, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems and Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake (BSFB) offer maintenance insight on safety packages that include advanced safety systems and air disc brakes.
