The Key is Active Braking
Does your collision mitigation system do this?
The Bendix

®
Advanced
™
system:
Provides more control on slick surfaces;
Apply the brakes automatically on an icy roadway and the risk of losing control increases. Bendix
Wingman Advanced is built on the Bendix
®
ESP
®
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.
Delivers more braking power when your drivers need it;
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.
Less wear and tear on your brakes which equals lower maintenance costs,
less vehicle downtime;
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.
Delivers “Always Available” driver alerts;
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.
Alerts drivers to stationary road hazards;
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.
Provides useful information; and
Delivers valuable data about following distance, alerts, and stability interventions that you can use
to help target driver training needs.
Can deliver a quick ROI.
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.

stability for added
protection and performance
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.
