Bosch has just completed testing its new new brake-by-wire technology on public roads. The Bosch development team traveled ...

Toyota Tacoma 4WD pickups equipped with 16-inch brakes and 17-inch wheels can develop leaks in the rear brake hoses. Abrasion ...

Hydraulic retarders play a crucial role in enhancing the braking performance and safety of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) and articulated vehicles. These systems utilize fluid dynamics principles to ...

Instead of mechanical rods and cylinders, hydraulic four-wheel brakes employ the use of fluid pressure to actuate the brake pads of each of the wheels. Modern brake systems split the hydraulics ...

Electronically-controlled mechanical brake systems developed by eStop, a company acquired by Siemens VDO Automotive earlier this year, look poised to replace traditional hydraulic brake systems ...

Brakes are your vehicle's most important safety system. Under normal conditions, a driver exerts about 70 pounds of force on ...

This translates to increased clamping pressure on the car’s braking system, be it via vacuum or hydraulic pressure, or even electronic actuation. Where that takes place is inside the brake booster.

The ABS control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle’s antilock braking system and processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to ...

The Netherlands-based automaker said the hydraulic control unit on the trucks is prone to failure, which can cause the anti-lock brake, electronic stability control and traction control systems to ...
