At the International Show in Stuttgart, Mercedes presented its ESF2009 model featuring vast improvements in car safety. One of the novel ways to do that is so called Braking Bag. Once a car decelerates just before crash the Bag located between front wheels is released and raises front end and by the same time increases its friction with road surface increasing car deceleration by up to 20m/s2. Action increases tension on safety belts reducing potential for injuries. The systems works already from min. speed of 50km/h it is not known when Mercedes is going to introduce this technology into series models.
