Driving Scenario:
A vehicle enters a curve too fast, on high friction pavement,
resulting in high lateral (side) forces acting at the vehicles
center of gravity (CG). The high friction between the wheels
and the pavement create a “hinge” effect allowing the forces
at the CG push the vehicle over.

Advanced on the trailer
Fleets often ask, "If I have Bendix ESP on the tractor and it controls the trailer brakes, why do I need stability on the trailer?"
That's a good question. Bendix testing shows that a fl eet gets the maximum amount of stability available by having both systems
on the tractor/trailer combination because these systems complement each other. Together they cover a wider variety of potential
rollover scenarios. This is especially applicable for fl eets that run high value trailers, sensitive loads or who want the highest safety
available.

Keep in mind that no stability system replaces the need for alert, safe drivers practicing safe driving habits, as well as continuous,
comprehensive driver training. Drivers are always responsible for the control and safe operation of their vehicle at all times.
