"FIRST TO THE MARKET” ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PEDALS FROM AB ELEKTRONIK

AB Elektronik are proud of being a recognised worldwide partner in development and production for electronic accelerator pedals in renowned OEM car and commercial vehicle applications. In Europe AB Elektronik is the market leader in pedals for the medium and heavy truck segment.

Product requirements have undergone tremendous development since AB launched the first electronic contactless accelerator pedal with Hall-effect sensor technology in 1998. Apart from different technologies and designs for car and commercial vehicle applications, it is the different standards across the world which have had the most varied effect on AB's portfolio regarding mechanical design and electronic interfaces.

Large Volumes and Version Diversity

AB Elektronik's strength is undoubtedly the diversity of versions and technology our customers can expect. Contactless sensor technologies and potentiometers are to be found in high-end pedals and best cost designs are used as desired. The focus is just as much on tailoring the product to the particular customer application as on using base components for economic implementation of projects. Special characteristics like flexible mounting to reduce the risk of injury or the special kick-down in commercial vehicles are just a few of the additional advantages for AB's customers that bolster their market position.
