Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBV)

EBV will adjust brake pressure to the rear axle based on the rate of slow-down of the rear wheels, ensuring even brake force between the front and the rear of the vehicle.

The control unit monitors the wheel speed when the brakes are applied and compares the deceleration of the front and rear axle to determine required regulation.

If the vehicle is moderately to fully loaded, the rear axle will take longer to slow down, rear wheel brakes can then be applied at a higher pressure.

If a vehicle was lightly loaded, a similar brake pressure would be too great and result in an unstable situation.

If EBV control intervention is required, the control unit cycles the inlet valve on the rear brake calipers to prevent further build-up.

Benefits of EBV are:

• Enhanced braking due to even distribution of brake force.
• Rear wheel brake size can be increased.
• Front and rear brakes wear at a similar rate.
