Driving with Bendix ESP Electronic Stability Program
This video provides basic guidelines for driving a vehicle equipped with the Bendix® ESP® stability system by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC. It demonstrates how the Bendix ESP system works, the potential loss-of-control driving situations it can help mitigate, what to expect when using the Bendix ESP technology, and what the system can and cannot address. The Bendix ESP system is the first widely available full-stability solution for the commercial vehicle market. Full-stability technology, also referred to as electronic stability program or electronic stability control, is more comprehensive than roll-only stability. Unlike roll-only systems, full-stability systems -- such as the Bendix ESP system -- address both roll and directional stability. While roll-only options function optimally on dry surfaces, full-stability systems are effective in a wider range of driving and road conditions, including snowy, ice-covered, and slippery surfaces. Bendix, the North American leader in active safety and brake system technologies, designs and delivers this important vehicle safety technology today.

Global Distributor of Well-known GOLDLINE and SILVERLINE Brands Now Has Broadest Offering of Ultra-Quality, U.S.-Made Tarp Straps
Erlanger, Ky., – Ancra International, the global leader in load securement innovation, introduced the new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap today. The new strap provides Ancra customers with a high-quality, American-made EPDM tarp strap that can be purchased at a competitive price.
Until now, the SILVERLINE Brand Tarp Strap has been positioned as a Chinese-made natural rubber product and has been most popular among those operating vehicles in colder climates. Ancra announced that both the new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap and the original SILVERLINE Natural Rubber Tarp Strap will be exclusively manufactured in the United States and both will be available starting July 1, 2011.
Ancra currently offers the ultra-premium, EPDM-based GOLDLINE Tarp Strap, and the company emphasized that the GOLDLINE product has been manufactured in the U.S. since its introduction over 40 years ago.
“Ancra will now have a U.S.-made tarp strap to serve virtually any application environment,” Jim Calico, vice president of business development for Ancra, said. “No other tarp strap product offering is this comprehensive and no other line of tarp straps is engineered with this level of precision and single-source quality.”
The GOLDLINE and SILVERLINE Tarp Straps are famous among fleets and independent truckers and are favored for their quality and durability. The straps have built their following chiefly through personal recommendations.
Like the new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap, the GOLDLINE Tarp Strap is made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, a material capable of delivering exceptional strength, durability and resistance to everyday environmental road conditions, like ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone.
Because of its robustness and its capacity to maintain its elastomeric properties in high-temperature environments, the ultra-premium-quality GOLDLINE Tarp Strap is a mainstay among vehicles operating in moderate and warm climates. EPDM-based tarp straps have proven to last five to 20 times longer than natural rubber tarp straps, and the lower profile SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap is exceptionally resilient as well.
The SILVERLINE Tarp Strap is made of the highest quality natural rubber and includes UV inhibitors to promote durability. The SILVERLINE brand has gained popularity among fleets and drivers doing business in colder climates, like Canada. The natural rubber in the SILVERLINE Tarp Strap remains uniquely flexible, even in sub-zero conditions.
The new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap was designed to provide the marketplace with a tough, high-functioning, U.S.-made, EPDM alternative to the status quo. Calico noted that the vast majority of rubber and EPDM tarp straps on the market today are imported, and that past material and manufacturing quality fluctuations had led Ancra to seek a U.S.-made alternative.
“The SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap has all the advantages of EPDM, coupled with U.S. manufacturing quality, all at a very competitive price point,” Ralph Abato, vice president of sales and marketing for Ancra, said. “With Ancra’s global distribution capabilities, a quality EPDM tarp strap is now within anyone’s reach.”
GOLDLINE, SILVERLINE and SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Straps are manufactured in Middlefield, Ohio, by Universal Polymer & Rubber, Ltd. (UP&R). The company has been making the industry’s highest quality tarp straps since 1971 and is a tier-one and tier-two supplier of molded and extruded rubber and plastic parts to the automotive industry. On Jan. 3, 2011, UP&R named Ancra as its exclusive worldwide master distributor for all GOLDLINE and SILVERLINE Brand Tarp Straps.
“We closely control all facets of our manufacturing processes and even make our own hooks,” John Zielinski, vice president of sales and marketing for UP&R, said. “No other tarp strap manufacturer has single-source, in-house manufacturing capabilities in the U.S.”
“Ancra is proud and happy to be associated with such a venerable American-made product line,” Abato said. “These tarp straps are setting a new industry standard across the board.”
Ancra has established a hotline to answer questions, solve problems and to ensure that those who are interested in GOLDLINE, SILVERLINE and SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Straps can acquire them. The hotline number is: (800) 929-2627, ext. 203.

Bendix EverSure Spring Brake with No Touch Technology
The Bendix® EverSureTM spring brake with No TouchTM technology is a next-generation double-diaphragm spring brake for drum brakes that offers the lightest weight in the industry, while delivering best-in-class durability and performance. These videos show two trucks undergoing the FMVSS 121 parking test, conducted on a 20 percent incline. The truck equipped with Bendix EverSure spring brakes clearly outperforms the truck equipped with competitive spring brakes. The EverSure spring brake features optimized diaphragm geometry, resulting in best-in-class force output and unmatched parking power. The Bendix EverSure spring brake eliminates contact between compressed power spring coils, to prevent corrosion and, ultimately, spring brake failure. Engineered with an increased number of active coils, the Bendix EverSure spring brake also reduces surface stresses in the power spring. In tandem, the elimination of coil contact and the additional active coils allow the EverSure spring brake to set the industry benchmark for durability. In addition, the EverSure spring brake is more than two pounds lighter than competitive spring brakes, leading to improved fuel efficiency, the best vibration resistance in the industry, and the opportunity for the vehicle to carry increased payload.
