When it comes to brakes, Volvo's Electronic Braking System (EBS) and patented disc brake technology gives you an especially high degree of safety.
With this system, the matching of brake interaction between the tractor and trailer is smooth, the stopping distance is shorter, stability is improved and road-holding is sharper for the entire combination, when compared with a conventional braking system.
Since the solid brake discs are made of a material that is particularly heat-resistant, they also reduce the risk of brake fade in repeated harsh braking, and minimise the likelihood of disc warp caused by thermal extremes.
