ESP® – 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 right off track.

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