Trailer Sway Mitigation (TSM) Technology Earns Bosch a Place in the PACE Finals
October 29, 2004
FARMINGTON
HILLS, Mich. -- Robert Bosch Corporation has been selected as a finalist
for the 2005 Automotive News PACE Awards in the Product - Europe
category for its Trailer Sway Mitigation (TSM) technology. Developed
by Bosch in Europe, TSM helps provides stability while a vehicle is
towing a trailer. If a trailer enters into a dangerous sway situation
while traveling, TSM can automatically brake specific and individual
wheels on the vehicle to bring both the vehicle and trailer under
control without driver intervention. The technology can also reduce
engine power to provide stability to the vehicle and trailer during
these situations if required. "Bosch Trailer Sway Mitigation can dramatically reduce the likelihood of such accidents by automatically controlling dangerous trailer sway, allowing the driver to focus on driving the vehicle," said Scott Dahl, director, CSM marketing (AC-SM/MKT). "We think that anyone who pulls a trailer will be very excited to have this technology on their vehicle."
