Abstract

The brakes of the front axle of the trailer of a utility vehicle are impinged upon with a brake pressure by way of a single, common ABS valve. Said ABS valve is electrically actuated by an EBS module associated with the rear wheel brakes depending on a differential slip between the front axle and the rear axle.
