 ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM
AN INTELLIGENT INVESTMENT IN STABILITY 
FOR MOTOR COACHES
Bendix

 stability system is a full stability system designed to help mitigate 
rollovers and loss-of-control on a wide variety of road conditions. Full stability 
delivers more performance than roll-only systems, thanks to additional sensors 
and braking capability.
Safety Is The Bottom-Line 
 
Most people don’t think of a stability system as contributing to the bottom-
line. But when you consider the costs of accident related vehicle damage, 
down-time, clean-up etc... it’s easy to see how it does. For fleets looking 
to reduce incident potential and improve profitability, the Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 full 
stability system provides proven value.

: A Competitive Advantage For Your 
Fleet
•    Protect Profitability – Every dollar you save through incident reduction 
goes directly to the bottom-line. Consider this… just to stay profit 
(bottom-line) neutral, a fleet operating at a 5% margin would need 
to increase revenue by 20 times the cost of accident related losses. 
That means reducing accident costs by $100,000 is equivalent to 
growing top-line sales by 2 million dollars.
•  
Strengthen Operational Efficiency – The reliability of genuine Bendix 
components, the familiarity of an ABS-based system, along with 
a portfolio of easy-to-use diagnostic tools means less training 
and more vehicle up-time.
•    Boost Driver Retention – A commitment to safety improves driver 
morale and can reduce the potential of drivers leaving the 
profession or going to a competitor.
The Full Stability Solution
Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 is the first widely available ABS-based stability system 
capable of recognizing and assisting with both rollover and vehicle under- 
and over-steer driving situations on the widest range of road conditions. 
With key sensors and braking capability, including steer axle braking, 
Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 provides a higher level of stability on both dry and wet 
surfaces than systems that only focus on rollover mitigation. Features 
include:
•    Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 – Helps in both rollover and loss-of-control situations. 
Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 helps to mitigate vehicle jackknifes, slides, skids and 
loss-of-control through advanced monitoring of a variety of vehicle 
parameters and automatic and selective application of vehicle brakes. 
Bendix
®
 ESP
®
, through its roll stability program, helps to mitigate 
rollovers through advanced sensing and automatic application of 
vehicle brakes.
•    Bendix
®
 Smart ATC
 – Unlike other traction control products, the 
Bendix
®
 Smart ATC
 traction control system makes adjustments 
based on the vehicle orientation (straight vs. curve) and the driver’s 
throttle input.
•    Core ABS – Prevents wheel lock-up to help drivers maintain 
steering control while braking. Core ABS is compliant with FMVSS 121 
for air brake systems.
•    Diagnostics – Bendix offers a suite of diagnostic tools to keep your 
trucks on the road. From traditional blink codes and “Chuff” at vehicle 
start, to a portable remote diagnostic unit (RDU), and Bendix
®
 ACom
®
our comprehensive, computer-based diagnostic software.
•    Serviceability – Because Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 is an ABS-based system, most 
of the components are the same familiar parts used on your current 
ABS and ATC system. The additional stability system components 
are based on proven technology and require only simple direct part 
replacement.

 Full Stability System –
What is it and how does it work?
The Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 full stability system continuously monitors a 
variety of vehicle parameters to determine if the vehicle is reaching
a critical stability threshold. When such a situation develops, the
Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 stability system will quickly and automatically intervene
to assist the driver. The system can selectively apply vehicle brakes,
as well as de-throttle the engine typically faster than a human. 
However, no stability system replaces the most important safety 
components of all... a skilled, alert professional driver exercising safe 
driving habits, as well as continuous, comprehensive driver training.
Does more than just rollover mitigation – Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 also addresses many of 
the "loss-of-control" situations that can lead to rollovers or other accidents.
