DURA Automotive Systems, Inc. has developed a new approach to parking brake technology with its Electronic Park Brake System. The company claims that its new electronic brake eliminates the need for a handbrake or footbrake inside the vehicle, improving vehicle packaging and freeing valuable interior space, which can then be utilised for other value-added features.

Unlike traditional parking brakes, the DURA Electronic Park Brake locates the brake actuator remotely and interfaces with a small interior switch to activate the system.
