With the MK C1, the brake actuation feature, the brake booster and the control systems (ABS and ESC) are combined into a compact, weight-saving braking module. The system weighs up to three to four kilogram less than a conventional braking system, depending on the basis of comparison.

The electro-hydraulic MK C1 can build up braking pressure significantly faster than conventional hydraulic systems, thereby fulfilling the increased pressure dynamics requirements for new advanced driver assistance systems in order to prevent accidents and protect pedestrians.

In addition, the system can fulfill the requirements for a recuperative braking system without any additional measures, while providing a high level of comfort. It thus makes a major contribution to safe and dynamic driving as well as energy efficiency.
