Volvo Trucks Brings Drivers New Level of Safety with Bendix ABS-6 Vehicle Stability Systems

摘要

Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. will bring an even higher level of safety to America's highways with the introduction of an advanced vehicle stability control system featuring protection from rollover and jackknifes. Volvo will offer the ABS-6 antilock brake system made by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC on the Volvo VN and Volvo VHD. Beginning in early 2005, Volvo will offer Bendix ABS-6 Advanced with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), to address a wide range of driving conditions. Bendix ABS-6 will be Volvo's standard antilock brake system in North America, while ABS-6 Advanced with ESP will be a customer-specified option. Antilock brake systems are required by law on trucks sold in North America.
