What is ESP?

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a patent of Bosch.

The ESP system is actually a traction control system. Compared with other traction control systems, ESP not only controls the driving wheels, but also the driven wheels.

The ESP system includes ABS (anti-lock braking system) and ASR (anti-slip drive system), which is a functional extension of these two systems.

Ten years ago, Bosch was the first company to put electronic stability program (ESP) into mass production. Because ESP is a patented product of Bosch, only Bosch's body electronic stability system can be called ESP. After Bosch, many companies have developed similar systems, such as the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) developed by Nissan, the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) developed by Toyota, and the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) developed by Honda. Vehicle Stability Assist Control (VSA) developed by BMW, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) developed by BMW, etc.
