Drawbacks of Conventional Braking System in Up Gradient/ Un-Even Roads

Image

Heavy Traffic Situations

Image

Up Ramp Drive

When the vehicle is moving forward in an ascending way / up gradient.

Moving from stop position, the driver has to swiftly move his/her leg from the brake pedal to acceleration pedal. Within this, the vehicle will roll back due to the gravity.

To prevent roll back - conventional methods used

Image

Service Brake

Holding the brake pedal to keep the car steady on an incline.

Image

Hand Brake

Using the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward.

Image

Balance & Bending point

Balancing clutch and accelerator to stop rollback on a slope.

Drawbacks of Conventional Braking System in Down Gradient/ Un-Even Roads

Image

Speed Breakers

Ramps in a mall, Flyovers and Down hills

When the vehicle is moving Downwards in a descending way / down gradient, The driver cannot take out his/her legs from the brake pedal If so, the vehicle will roll front due to the gravity.

The Problems Drivers Face Without Support Systems

Image

Increased Physical Strain on the Driver

Manual braking on slopes and in traffic greatly increases the driver’s physical effort, leading to fatigue, neck pain, and discomfort during long drives.

Image

Higher Risk of Bumper-to-Bumper Collisions

Frequent rolling and sudden stops increase the chance of accidental impact during close-range driving.

Image

Added Stress and Mental Fatigue

Drivers must stay overly alert to prevent rollback, leading to increased stress, tension, and discomfort.

Image

Excessive Fuel Wastage During Driving

Frequent clutch-brake balance and repeated acceleration waste fuel, increasing overall running cost.

Increased Wear and Tear on Brake & Clutch Components

Continuous balancing of the brake, clutch, and accelerator—especially on slopes and in heavy traffic—causes premature wear of mechanical drum brake parts, reducing performance and increasing maintenance costs.

Why SBS Makes Driving on Ramps Effortless

With Sensible Braking System (SBS) installed, your vehicle stays steady on both uphill and downhill ramps without any extra effort from the driver.

Image

No holding the brake after stopping

Your car stays in place automatically, even on steep slopes.

Image

No engaging the handbrake each time

Stop-and-go traffic becomes smooth without manual braking steps.

Image

No balancing clutch and accelerator

Forget the stress of finding the perfect "biting point" on ramps.
