An electric parking brake (EPB) is a type of parking brake that uses an electric motor to engage and disengage the parking brake. EPBs are becoming increasingly common on new vehicles, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional mechanical parking brakes.
EPBs are more convenient to use than mechanical parking brakes, as they can be engaged and disengaged with the touch of a button. They are also more effective at preventing the vehicle from rolling, as they apply the parking brake to all four wheels. Additionally, EPBs can be integrated with other vehicle systems, such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic stability control (ESC) system, to improve safety.
