• EBS - Electronically controlled Brake System
• ESP - Electronic Stability Program
• Optional Z-cam brakes
• Optional auxiliary brakes, such as Volvo Engine Brake (VEB/VEB+)

Unmatched braking systems
The braking system includes EBS (Electronically controlled Brake System) disc brakes with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), or alternatively the tried and tested Z-cam brakes.

These alternatives can be supplemented with particularly effective auxiliary brakes, such as VEB//VEB+ (Volvo Engine Brake) and a retarder.

EBS is an anti-locking disc-brake system that electronically controls braking effect. There are many advantages to having disc brakes with electronic control via the truck's own electrical system.

Drum brakes of Z-cam type are used primarily on trucks with leaf springs.

• Compact retarder - integrated with I-Shift and manual gearboxes, provides continous availability of high braking moment, even during gearchanging. Total braking effect with retarder depends on engine model and equipment, such as EPG/VEB/VEB+
• Primary retarder - integrated in Powertronic and provides continuous access to high braking moment, even during gearchanging. Total braking effect with retarder depends on engine model and equipment, such as EPG/VEB/VEB+
