Electronic Brake Distribution

Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) takes the place of pressure-conscious regulators (PCRVs) used in conventional braking systems and is featured in all ABS/TCS systems.

The EBD function is an additional program (software) to the conventional ABS program that allows greater utilization of the rear brakes up to the point of ABS intervention.

EBD can come into operation during regular braking, dependent on the loading of the vehicle and the surface friction. Brake force is determined during EBD control.
