The Key is Active Braking

Does your collision mitigation system do this?

Apply the brakes automatically on an icy roadway and the risk of losing control increases. Bendix 
Wingman Advanced is built on the Bendix

 full stability system. Full stability does more than 

roll-only systems to help keep trucks under control when brakes are automatically applied on 
slick surfaces. 

Roll-only systems typically do not apply steer axle brakes – full stability systems do. Bendix 
Wingman Advanced delivers up to 2/3 (67%) of vehicle braking power. Competitive systems don’t 
deliver as much. By building on a full-stability platform, all brakes – steer, drive, and trailer – are 
available and can be controlled as necessary to provide maximum braking power and a more 
even braking distribution.

The adaptive cruise control with braking feature of Bendix Wingman Advanced helps your drivers 
keep a set following distance by reducing throttle, engaging the engine retarder or, if necessary, 
applying the brakes. This progressive approach means brakes only get used when they’re really 
needed resulting in less brake wear and more savings.

As following distance closes, drivers receive unique visual and audible warnings to aid their 
response. Fewer false warnings means drivers react when the system alerts.

 

Stationary object alert can provide drivers with an extra warning about metallic objects such as 
standing vehicles blocking their lane of travel day or night, rain or shine, fog or snow.

Delivers valuable data about following distance, alerts, and stability interventions that you can use 
to help target driver training needs.

Potentially avoiding a collision or reducing the severity of just one crash can add up to substantial 
savings from accident and other related costs. And, the increased use of cruise control can 
contribute to overall fuel savings for your fl eet.

Bendix ESP, with over 100,000 systems 

delivered, is an integral part of the Bendix 

Wingman Advanced system, helping your 

drivers mitigate roll-over and loss-of-control 

situations on dry, wet, snow and ice-covered 

pavement.  Plus, Bendix ESP helps Bendix 

Wingman Advanced use more brakes on the 

vehicle to deliver more braking power and 

better balanced brake applications.
