Universal Co-Pilot Brake for Passenger Vehicles (ACAR-B1)

Overview

With a lightweight steel frame and adjustable pedal ratio, this brake offers precise stopping power while maintaining compatibility with 99% of vehicle models (1985-present). The compact design (35cm x 20cm x 15cm) and easy installation make it ideal for driving schools, rental fleets, and handicap-accessible vehicles.

Features

Adaptive Braking Control

Adjustable Pedal Ratio: 1:1.2 to 1:1.8 mechanical advantage, allowing instructors to modulate braking force for student drivers.

Quick-Response Mechanism: 0.3-second brake engagement time, faster than manual override systems (SAE J2345 tested).

Universal Vehicle Compatibility

Multi-Model Fit: Works with cars, SUVs, and vans (GVW ≤3.5 tons), featuring an adjustable mounting bracket (pedal spacing: 60-90mm).

Plug-&-Play Installation: Secures to the passenger-side footwell using three-point mounting (included hardware), no drilling required for most vehicles.

Durability & Safety

Powder-Coated Steel Frame: Salt spray tested for 500 hours, resisting rust in humid climates and coastal regions.

Safety Interlock System: Prevents accidental brake activation during normal driving, requiring intentional pedal depression (5kg minimum force).

Ergonomic Design

Foldable Pedal Arm: Collapses 60° for easy passenger access, ideal for vehicles with limited footwell space.

Non-Slip Pedal Pad: Textured surface with 0.5mm grooves, providing 20% better grip than smooth pedals (ASTM F2913 tested).

Application

Driving Schools:

Student Training: Enables instructors to intervene during emergency situations, reducing collision risks by 40% in training scenarios.

Rental Fleets:

Age-Restricted Drivers: Provides supervisors with remote braking control for young or inexperienced renters.

Adaptive Driving:

Handicap Vehicles: Essential for drivers using hand controls, offering secondary braking for enhanced safety (compliant with EN 308:2012).

FAQ

Q: Is the ACAR-B1 compatible with hybrid/electric cars?

A: Yes, works with all vehicles featuring mechanical brake linkages— 不适用于 fully-by-wire brake systems without physical pedals.

Q: Can it be installed in a right-hand drive vehicle?

A: Yes, the symmetric design fits both LHD and RHD cars—simply reverse the mounting bracket during installation.

Q: What is the weight of the ACAR-B1?

A: The system weighs 3.2kg, evenly distributed for minimal footwell obstruction.

Q: Does it require professional installation?

A: Basic installation can be done with common tools (socket set, wrench)—refer to our PDF manual or video guide for steps.
