The brake lining wear control and retarder integration allow the reduction of operational costs.The safety enhancements achieved by EBS in conjunction with disc brakes, are rewarded by European truck insurance companies by lower insurance fees.The importance of EBS will still gain significantly through the developments in process.EBS is the platform for ESP and ACC, which will be a major contributer to better integration of trucks in dense traffic flow
