Emergency Brake Assist

Anti lock braking systems (ABS) play a key role in modern vehicle safety. By preventing the wheels from locking during heavy or sudden braking, ABS helps the driver maintain steering control, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces. This can be crucial when reacting to sudden hazards or navigating challenging conditions. Today, the majority of cars and commercial vehicles across Europe are fitted with ABS, making it one of the most widely used active safety features on the road. Its presence provides a reliable layer of protection that complements other vehicle safety technologies.

Active safety systems are designed to support the driver before an incident occurs. They monitor the behaviour of the vehicle and assess the surrounding environment, providing additional stability and control when conditions become demanding. Their purpose is to help avoid collisions or reduce the severity of an emergency situation, which is why they are often referred to as pre impact safety technologies.

As vehicle technology continues to evolve, active safety systems have become increasingly precise and integrated. Advances in sensors, braking components and electronic controls enable faster, more consistent responses in critical moments. Together, these systems give drivers greater confidence, helping to make everyday journeys safer and supporting broader road safety goals across Europe.
