ESP or Electronic Stability Program ensures unmatched safety edge while driving, even in the most trying conditions. Since 1997, ESP has been a standard safety feature available in modern cars worldwide. In 2005, 39% of all the newly registered cars in Europe were fitted with ESPs. You will surely have a safe trip with Bosch ESP and ABS technologies.

Skidding is prevented effectively with ESP – Electronic Stability Program
Driving at optimum speed on a winding hilly road, you suddenly spot a broken tree on the road. The ESP or the Electronic Stability Program when fitted in your car will protect you and your car by preventing skidding when a sudden brake is applied.

Unexpected situations occur often when driving - a broken tree on the road, potholes, suddenly changing lanes, bends that are tighter than expected, or at any instance when a sudden brake is applied. ESP is activated in critical driving situations and stabilizes your car, so that it drives exactly where you are steering it. Skidding is prevented effectively. ESP can be relied on, just like how we naturally switch on our lights in the dark or use our windscreen wipers when it rains.

ESP keeps your car safely on track in critical situations and helps prevent fatal accidents. Today, ESP is increasingly being fitted as standard equipment in all cars. It offers the second greatest improvement in safety after the safety belt.

Making mobility ‘safe’
Conceptualized decades ago, old and more pertinent than ever is the Bosch’s corporate and product philosophy – the *3S program on the basis of which Bosch has been working to make automobiles safer, more eco-friendly, and more economical. The program has resulted in many pioneering achievements, including Antilock Braking Systems (ABS), the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and direct fuel injection systems.

The Bosch Chassis Systems Control division develops innovative products for active driving safety. Other than ESP, the Chassis Systems division concentrates on brake-control systems like ABS (Antilock Braking System), TCS (Traction Control System), vehicle-dynamics systems and highly sophisticated interlinked functions featuring passive safety systems and driver-assistance systems. They work closely with the Chassis Systems Brakes division to arrive at complete braking systems.

The revolutionary braking and security systems like ESP and newer methods for cutting pollutant emissions are being continuously improved by new and patented developments at Bosch.

ESP in India - stability that can save lives
Anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to benefit from ESP in a hazardous situation knows the huge advantages it offers in terms of driving safety. ESP helps drivers remain on the desired course through coordinated braking of individual wheels.

Safety on the varied and hostile conditions that motorists and drivers face on Indian roads can be tackled effectively with Bosch ESPs fitted in vehicles.

Recently, Bosch has introduced the Common Rail Systems in India. Over the next few years, Bosch plans to introduce ESP and ABS technologies from its global portfolio in India by setting up manufacturing bases for their production in the country.
