The Bendix ABS-6 braking system consists of wheel speed sensors, ABS pressure modulator valves and an electronic control unit. “The ABS-6 family has not only proven itself to be the premier heavy-duty air-brake system, but it also enabled the age of robust active safety with electronic activation of the brakes with Bendix ABS-6 Advanced with ESP full-stability technology.” “Reaching this milestone is a testament to the capability of the technology that the Bendix and Knorr-Bremse team developed,” says Kevin Romanchok, product line director for electronics at Bendix. Bendix ABS-6 braking systems are available from most major truck manufacturers, including International, Kenworth, Mack, Peterbilt and Volvo coach manufacturers such as Prevost and a variety of specialty vehicle manufacturers.

Introduced in late 2004, the Bendix ABS-6 family includes three types of braking systems: the standard Bendix ABS-6 antilock braking system, the premium system with Bendix Smart ATCTM (automatic traction control), and Bendix ABS-6 Advanced with ESP Electronic Stability Program (Bendix ESP). The Bendix ABS-6 braking system is installed on Class 6, 7 and 8 air- brake tractor-trailers, trucks, motorcoaches and specialty heavy-duty vehicles.

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems recently marked a milestone with delivery of its millionth Bendix ABS-6 braking system.
