A COMPUTERISED anti-lock braking system which senses Inc vidual wheel slip will be featured on the Mercedes-Benz 1633S I the Motor Show.
The system is the result of a joint development between Daimler-Benz and WABCO Fahrzeugbremse in Hanover and will be available on other Mercedes chassis in due course.
It is claimed that the WABCO system is more sophisticated than the other anti-lock systems currently available in that, with the German system, full brakir effort is retained on thos wheels which still have sufficie grip to prevent sliding.
Mercedes-Benz claims th, this results in improved brakir efficiency in critical situations c steeply cambered roads an where cornering forces lead to shift of wheel loading.
