4.5.5 A quick build up system shall be provided, capable of building enough air pressure to release the spring brake in less than sixty (60) seconds, when starting with the entire air system at zero pounds pressure.
4.5.6 The brake system shall be a split system. The two (2) systems shall be connected with a double check valve that shall automatically shuttle air from the front system to the rear system should loss of air pressure occur. This system shall also modulate the amount of air so the spring brakes shall apply in direct relationship to the amount of pressure applied to the treadle valve.

The rapid modulation of air pressure prevents wheel lock-up and increases driver control. If a fault occurs in one wheel, that wheel shall have normal (non- ABS) brake function. The other wheels shall continue to provide the ABS function. If the ABS system should fail completely, the brake control shall be returned to normal (non-ABS) braking.
An ABS warning light shall be installed on the driver's dash message center.

Holding Capacity of parking Brake: The parking brake shall be able to hold the vehicle fully loaded at least at a 50% slope. The parking brake will activate brakes on all three axles.
4.5.10 Hill hold function: A hill hold function shall be provided. This avoids that the vehicle start to roll on a slope, when vehicle is at a stop and the brake pedal is released.
4.5.11 Traction control system: An electronic traction control system shall be applied using ABS sensors. On slippery surfaces sensors detect differentials in wheel spin on the propulsion axles and selectively apply the brake on an individual wheel (the one spinning) to direct propulsion torque to the wheel with the higher traction and subsequently less revolutions.
4.5.12 Service brake performance: The service brake shall meet or exceed requirements of NFPA 1901 and STVZO and be capable top stop the vehicle at a speed of 30mph/32kph in less than 10m and at a speed of 40mph/64kph in less than 37meters.
