Electronic Stability Control takes the safety to the next level by providing safety under demanding conditions of various handling maneuvers, thereby preventing or minimizing the probability of accidents.

Functionally ESC predicts upcoming instability and automatically applies the brakes to avoid rollover, skidding and jack-knifing. It measures vehicle's lateral acceleration, roll about its vertical axis through sensors, and applies brakes on selective wheels to control instability.

Head of Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, Girish Wagh said, "We are the first OEM in India who is deploying Electronic Stability Control (ESCsmart) safety technology in all our Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles. We are delighted to work with class-leading global suppliers like WABCO to develop innovative and technology leading products for our Indian customers."
