EPB-Si

The Electric Parking Brake in general replaces the mechanical activation via the hand brake lever by an electrical switch and electromechanical actuators building up the required clamp forces.

The EPB-Si is a mainstream industry product within the portfolio of EPB solutions being developed by  Continental and  is  a great solution for electric vehicles.  Electromechanical actuators are mounted  directly  to the rear axle drum brakes to achieve the brake  torque and  can  be controlled by devices from the caliper integrated systems that are also offered by us.  The reliability and performance of the EPB-Si avoids the need for a separate park gear lock. Furthermore, its proven low residual torque  contributes to a higher range in electric vehicles. The encapsulated design of the EPB-Si unit results in low levels of corrosion when compared to conventional brakes, while maintaining low degrees of emission particles.
