Even in electric-only mode, it is necessary to boost brake pressure
when braking is applied by the driver. The intake manifold vacuum
of the internal combustion engine cannot be utilised, because it is
only available during conventional vehicle operation. The use of the
electro-mechanical brake servo makes it possible to dispense with
an additional vacuum pump in combination with a pneumatic
brake servo.
Electro-mechanical brake servo
The electro-mechanical brake servo oers the following key advan-
tages over a conventional pneumatic brake servo:
• Vacuum-independent brake servo
• High pressure generation dynamics
• High pressure regulation accuracy
• Constant brake pedal characteristic/pedal force
