First introduced in 1978 by Bosch, antilock braking systems (ABS) have been around for 30 now.

Seems hard to believe but antilock brakeing systems (ABS) have been around for 30 years. Developed by Bosch and first introduced in 1978, ABS has been a major step forward for motorists and the automotive industry worldwide, and paved the way for electronic stability control systems.

Since Bosch introduced electronically controlled ABS to the automotive market, the technology has become the basis for all modern brake regulating systems. Today, nearly 75 percent of vehicles are fitted with ABS. Bosch systems such as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)® and the Traction Control System (TCS) that are based on ABS are now successfully embraced by the world's motorists.

Today Bosch is the largest supplier of ABS systems to the world's vehicle manufacturers.
