ESC – your electronic guardian angel
Did you know that every year in Europe almost 43,000* people are killed in traffic accidents and that 1.28 million* are injured? Sometimes even just a single bend is enough to put your life off track.

Worldwide crash studies prove that skidding and the often resulting side impact is one of the main causes of severe and fatal road crashes. The Electronic Stability Control ESC counteracts skidding: it stabilizes your vehicle and reduces the risk of skidding. ESC makes a significant contribution toward road safety. International studies by well-known automobile manufacturers and safety authorities that have assessed its effectiveness confirm the great life-saving potential of ESC. The world's first ESC was introduced in 1995 by Bosch.
