Slip Control Boost System For Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon
The Chevrolet Tahoe and the GMC Yukon are set to get equipped with new high performance brakes. TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. is introducing its Slip Control Boost (SCB) advanced regenerative-compatible braking system with the goal of providing the two vehicles with full Stabilitrak functionality.
Peter Lake, executive vice president, Sales and Business Development for TRW Automotive says, “TRW is pleased to have worked closely with the engineering teams at General Motors to develop a product that complements the Tahoe’s and Yukon’s regenerative braking system to help accomplish the dual goals of providing enhanced safety and improved fuel economy.”
The Slip Control Boost System is now a standard part of the regenerative braking system of the Chevrolet Tahoe. The said system is reported to deliver high braking and stability control performance within a 12-volt system.
Instead of ordinary and traditional brake components like boosters, master cylinders and vacuum pumps, the Slip Control Boost System makes use of an electro-hydraulic control unit (EHCU) and brake pedal simulator unit with a twin master cylinder to supply brake pressure. By using these advanced components, the Slip Control Boost System can deliver an enhanced packaging and appearance in the front dash area, a brake pedal that can be integrated to emergency braking systems and NHV characteristics that are considered to be at the top of their class.
