Introduction Modern automotive design increasingly revolves around automation, safety, and compact integration. One innovation at the heart of this evolution is the electric parking brake (EPB). Unlike traditional mechanical handbrakes, EPBs offer electronic control over parking functions, improving safety, reducing driver effort, and supporting the digital ecosystem of advanced vehicles. The growing emphasis on autonomous features, ADAS compatibility, and driver convenience has positioned EPBs as a standard in many new vehicles, especially in the passenger car segment.
