Control the intelligent brake and air suspension functions with Trailer EBS, WABCO's electronic braking system, designed to maximise safety for all types of trailer.
Ensuring trailer and driving safety features prominently in any fleet manager’s role and is an essential part of running a successful operation. Making road safety an important consideration as part of your fleet operation is vital in ensuring you minimise the potential of accidents, keeping drivers, other road users, cargo and vehicles safe, as well as minimising downtime and the cost of repairs.

Making road safety an important consideration as part of your fleet operation is vital in ensuring you minimise the potential of accidents, keeping drivers, other road users, cargo and vehicles safe, as well as minimising downtime and the cost of repairs.
One of the most effective ways to impact safety performance of your vehicles is to ensure your brakes are performing at the optimal level. This applies not only to your trucks, but also to your trailers, where electronic braking solutions can go a long way to making sure you minimise stopping distances and maximise brake performance for your trailers. WABCO’s Trailer EBS solution is an advanced control and information centre that does this and much more. The system processes data for more than 40 supporting functions to ensure shorter braking distances and control air suspension levels.
Trailer EBS for trailers
As an industry leader, first bringing electronic braking systems to the market in 1997, WABCO has grown to become the global market leader for these vital trailer systems. Designed primarily to optimise stopping distance and improve vehicle stability while braking, WABCO’s Trailer EBS also provides the most comprehensive portfolio of safety and efficiency functions available for trailers.
Trailer EBS forms the basis of WABCO’s award-winning Intelligent Trailer Program, which comprises over 40 different functions. It can identify the current status of vehicle dynamics and determine whether they are potentially unsafe or inefficient. In the event of any issue being picked up, Trailer EBS will apply the brake to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. The system then warns the driver via in-cab displays and can inform fleet managers and workshops through telematics.
A truly versatile product, Trailer EBS can be retrofitted to all trailer types, making it a must-have product for any fleet operation. Operating and maintaining vehicles cost-effectively can be easily optimised with the implementation of this advanced electronic braking system. The connection of drivers, fleets and cargo owners to rich operational information and on-board systems enables greater efficiency and control.
