ESC II - ESC With Active Steering Intervention

Through the decline in prices of semiconductor technology, automotive applications have boosted and can be characterized in technological leaps, the first example was the introduction of ABS in 1978 leading on to the equipment with ESC in 1995.

In the next technological leap forward, the cross-linking of today's many and varied, largely stand-alone chassis control units, is envisaged. This technological leap forward in networking, the functional integration of brakes and steering, is described by the ESC II system.
