The Bosch Generation 9 ABS and ESP brochure outlines the scalable architecture, reduced weight, and optional features such as inertial sensors and FlexRay.
Generation 9 of Bosch's Antilock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) introduces a scalable product concept with a modular software architecture. Optional integration of inertial sensors, up to three pressure sensors, and a FlexRay interface provide precise control even at low brake pressure, while an optimized micro‑processor and printed‑circuit control unit reduce weight and size.
The most compact ABS weighs only 1.1 kg and the lightest ESP 1.6 kg, representing up to a 30 % reduction compared with the previous generation. The product family covers a wide range of vehicle segments, from small cars to light trucks, and offers optional features such as a six‑piston pump for maximum comfort and extensive networking capabilities with other safety systems.
