Tevva announced it completed the development of a regenerative braking system on its 7.5t battery-electric truck. Part of this involved working with global Tier 1 supplier ZF to integrate its Electronic Brake System (EBS) for use in zero-emission Tevva electric trucks. ZF said it worked with Tevva to adapt its EBS for deployment in the Tevva 7.5t battery electric vehicle – which uses a blend of regenerative and compressed air brakes to add an extra layer of safety and responsiveness for drivers.

ZF said the system transfers the driver’s deceleration request electronically to all braking system components to shorten response time, balance brake forces and provide ease of braking and efficient brake management.
