Is this Europe?
In the US, trucks have drum brakes, and the Emergency Braking System (EPS) is different from the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). EBS utilizes ABS, but they are not the same thing.
And yes, ABS does not care about the Wright of the vehicle. However, the brakes themselves are effected by the vehicle's weight, and the weight can determine how prone they are to locking up.

EBS (Electronic Braking System, and has nothing to do with power steering or do you mean ESP ?! wich again is traction control) is ABS and ASR (TCS for the englisch speaking) combined in one and electronic rather then pneumatic driven, it should prevent the truck from being uncontrollable during heavy braking where the system decides how much a wheel should brake depending on the situation
EBS differs from traditional anti-lock braking systems, or ABS, in that braking is controlled electronically rather than pneumatically, or by air. The driver applies the brakes, and the system calculates necessary actions for brake management. A brake signal transmitter replaces the foot valve and sends an electronic signal to the controller, which then signals braking needs to each axle group. The electronics system knows what the driver wants, calculates vehicle mass and calculates the pressure needed at the wheel ends.

Traditional pneumatic systems remain in place with EBS, so there’s redundancy, said Bendix’s Tober. Compressed air is used to apply the brakes, so if there’s an electrical failure, the brakes still function.

it even starts to appear more and more in the US

@Dotec ah, does the Actros also has an option for it or only the Arocs?

Mind you I only used it a couple of times on various trucks and more as a sort of "finding the limit" rather than full on emergency, but still, it was working as intended.
Like I said, American and European truck safety is miles apart.

Seems to have more simulation features, but a very small map.
When the next Steam sale is, I intend to buy it. At first glance it looks very good and promises a lot.


I have discovered this game and I have been left with a very positive first impression. It has left a very good taste in my mouth.
I will buy it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1763 ... ruck_Game/

I have seen the video of this game and I liked it a lot. I think this is what ETS2 and ATS lack with regards to physics. The mountains look great, I think they wouldn't look bad in the Montana dlc or the Austria rebuild.

My Truck Game has the physics I wish ATS had. Imagine those physics with textured roads (not the smooth ones we have). Potholes, ruts, bumps, etc on the road, then a rough gravel lot to drop off a trailer or dump some cargo. Would be much closer to a truck simulator.
