The Bendix ESP Stability System Value Equation
A truck rollover, jackknife, or loss-of-control situation can be very costly to a fleet. In fact, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC estimates that a single incident can cost about $100000, and for a fleet running on a 5-percent margin that could equate to losing $2 million in revenue. This video explains how equipping its vehicles with Bendix® ESP® stability system can help mitigate many accidents therefore avoiding such economic catastrophes. It also demonstrates how the Bendix Stability Value Calculator is able to indicate the amount of cost-per-mile payback a fleet could receive by equipping the Bendix ESP system. The Bendix ESP technology is the first widely available full-stability solution for the commercial vehicle market. Full-stability technology, also referred to as electronic stability program or electronic stability control, is more comprehensive than roll-only stability. Unlike roll-only systems, full-stability systems — such as the Bendix ESP system– address both roll and directional stability. While roll-only options function optimally on dry surfaces, full-stability systems are effective in a wider range of driving and road conditions, including snowy, ice-covered, and slippery surfaces. Bendix, the North American leader in active safety and brake system technologies, designs and delivers this important vehicle safety technology today.

Generic Bendix ESP Video – Double Maneuvers
This video shows commercial vehicles being tested performing double maneuvers both with and without the Bendix® ESP® stability system by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, the North American leader in active safety and brake system technologies. The Bendix ESP system is the first widely available full-stability solution for the commercial vehicle market. Full-stability technology, also referred to as electronic stability program or electronic stability control, is more comprehensive than roll-only stability. Unlike roll-only systems, full-stability systems — such as the Bendix ESP system — address both roll and directional stability. While roll-only options function optimally on dry surfaces, full-stability systems are effective in a wider range of driving and road conditions, including snowy, ice-covered, and slippery surfaces. Additional sensors and braking capabilities enable full stability systems to deliver earlier recognition and mitigation of conditions that could lead to rollover and loss-of-control situations on all types of surfaces. Bendix designs and delivers this important vehicle safety technology today. For more information, call 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725) or visit www.bendix.com
Bendix® ESP® Electronic Stability Program
This video shows commercial vehicles being tested both with and without the Bendix® ESP® stability system by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, the North American leader in active safety and brake system technologies. Full stability systems, such as Bendix ESP, are capable of recognizing factors that could lead to truck rollovers and loss of control, typically faster than a driver can. The technology automatically intervenes in dangerous and threatening situations by de-throttling the engine and selectively applying the vehicle brakes to decrease incident risk and loss of control. Unlike roll-only options that operate optimally on dry surfaces, full-stability systems effectively address the widest range of driving and road conditions, including snow, ice, and slippery surfaces. Bendix designs and delivers this important vehicle safety technology today. For more information, call 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725) or visit www.bendix.com
VEST (Volvo® Enhanced Stability Technology) Comparison
This video demonstrates the superior performance of the Volvo® Enhanced Stability Technology (VEST) compared with a competitive, roll-only system. VEST utilizes Bendix® ABS-6 Advanced with the Bendix® ESP® stability system from Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC. The technology incorporates existing North American air brake-based braking systems and provides core antilock braking, along with Bendix® Smart ATC™ and ESP stability, the most effective ABS-based traction control and stability systems on the market today. The Bendix ESP system is the first widely available full-stability solution for the commercial vehicle market. Full-stability technology, also referred to as electronic stability program or electronic stability control, is more comprehensive than roll-only stability.
