| Video Discription | The aim is to reduce accidents in which a truck drives into the back of a vehicle in front of the truck, an accident scenario that accounts for about one-fifth of all road accidents involving trucks. As of November 2015 there is an EU-wide legal requirement for new two- and three-axle heavy trucks to be equipped with the function automatic emergency brake. At present, legislation requires that the emergency braking system must reduce the trucks speed by 10 km/h. Next year, this will be tightened to 20 km/h. Volvo Trucks has developed a system that goes well beyond both current and future legal requirements. The emergency brake is only used if it is absolutely necessary, and it is de-ployed extremely quickly. The braking speed – or retardation to use the correct technical term – is about 7 m/sec2, which is on par with what many passenger cars can manage. In practice this means that the truck’s speed can be cut from 80 to 0 km/h in about 40 metres.
