ESP

Electronic Stability Program, or ESP, is an electronic device that corrects the path of a vehicle.

The main function of this ECU is to detect loss of adherence of the vehicle and to influence its path by applying braking to one or more wheels.

In only a few years, ESP has become a major component in active road safety. A set of sensors installed on the wheels of the vehicle will detect any loss of adherence. The ESP ECU will then determine the correction required to maintain the vehicle's path according to the position of the steering wheel.

ESP is particularly effective in situations of oversteering and understeering. By thus affecting the vehicle's behaviour, ESP ensures adherence and puts the vehicle back on the right path automatically.

ESP technology helps drivers in case of loss of adherence through curves.
