INTRODUCTION
The Bendix Intellipark
®
System provides parking capability for commercial vehicles
(tractors, trucks, and buses) that utilize air brakes. It is
available in various models to support a wide range of
applications. The system contains the Dash Electronic
Control Unit (DECU), the Park Valve Module (PVM), and
an integrated display – provided by the vehicle Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or by Bendix.
The Intellipark EPB system functionally replaces previous
Bendix park brake dash valves such as the MV-3
®
dash control valve, the Bendix
and the Bendix PP-DC
®
electromechanical valve and an electronic controller
which includes a driver interface. The Intellipark EPB
system provides many of the same features and functions
as manual park brake dash valves, but also provides
advanced features and functions not available in the
previous park brake valves.

as a solo vehicle (bobtail)
