Western Star Trucks Inc announced that Meritor’s WABCO  Roll Stability Control system (RSC) is now available on Western Star 4700,  4800, and 4900 truck models equipped with Meritor’s antilock braking system  (ABS). Ideal for on-highway and vocational applications, RSC assists drivers in  maintaining vehicle control by monitoring road conditions and automatically  intervening when a rollover risk is detected.

  When the RSC system senses an impending slide or  roll-over, it slows truck speed by reducing engine torque and engaging the  engine retarder while automatically applying drive axle and trailer brakes.  Once the risk has passed, the RSC system resumes normal vehicle operation,  allowing the driver to regain control of the truck.

  In addition to reducing vehicle rollover, Meritor’s RSC  system provides ease of maintenance with fewer components due to its  integration with Western Star’s ABS architecture.
