Elecbrakes Launches SwayControl

Elecbrakes Launches SwayControl: Smarter, Safer Towing for EB2 and VM1

Elecbrakes is proud to announce the launch of SwayControl, a breakthrough safety feature now available in our EB2 and VM1 electric brake controllers. This world-first innovation brings advanced trailer sway detection and correction directly into your brake controller—at no extra cost.

Why SwayControl Matters

Anyone who tows knows how unsettling trailer sway can be. Whether caused by crosswinds, passing trucks, uneven roads, or sudden maneuvers, sway can quickly turn from a nuisance into a serious safety risk.

Until now, controlling sway often required additional devices or complex setups. Elecbrakes has changed that.

With SwayControl, you get intelligent sway management built into your brake controller, keeping your towing setup simple, safe, and reliable.

How SwayControl Works

1. Adaptive Sway Detection
   Instantly identifies sway motion—even before you notice it—by continuously monitoring trailer behavior in real time.
2. Proportional Response
   Applies precisely the right amount of braking force based on sway severity, stabilising the trailer without overreacting.
3. Custom Sensitivity Settings
   Offers adjustable sensitivity levels, allowing you to tailor sway control to your driving style, trailer type, and road conditions.

Available Now and Built Into Your Elecbrakes

For new buyers, SwayControl comes standard with every EB2 and VM1 controller.

Existing EB2 or VM1 users can unlock this upgrade from 1 October 2025 simply by updating their app—it’s that easy.

Tested Down Under

Both EB2 and VM1 have undergone rigorous development and testing—on real Australian roads and through simulation experiments—to fine-tune the SwayControl algorithm. The result? A system built to deliver dependable protection across virtually any towing scenario.

Elevating Safety from Every Angle

With SwayControl onboard, Elecbrakes continues its commitment to user safety:

• Peace of Mind: Automated sway control reduces the need for split-second driver reactions.
• No Additional Hardware: You don’t need to install separate devices—the protection is already built in.
• Easy Activation: New customers get it by default; existing users can just tap to enable via update.

Real-Time Sway Insights

Available in the Elecbrakes App, your Trailer Stability Gauge gives you deep insight into your trailer’s stability, allowing you to adjust your driving behaviour and act before sway even occurs.

When your system is stable, the gauge displayed at the bottom of the home screen will be green. As the system detects more lateral movement, the gauge will increase over time shifting to red. This is your first indicator that sway could be imminent, allowing you to ease off the accelerator before things become unsteady. As the gauge increases, SwayControl becomes primed to step in.

Simple Integration

In perfect sync with your custom braking profiles, SwayControl automatically adapts to your vehicle, trailer, and road conditions. Our intelligent algorithms use your brake controller settings to deliver precisely the right amount of sway protection for your specific setup.

Simply set your brake response and trailer profiles as usual, and fine tune your sway sensitivity to your preference. It’s smart towing technology made simple, giving you enhanced protection with intuitive control.

Available Now—For New and Existing Users

• New Customers: Every EB2 and VM1 controller now comes with SwayControl built in as standard.
• Existing Users: From 1 October 2025, SwayControl can be unlocked via a simple app update. No additional hardware required.

This means whether you’re just joining the Elecbrakes family or already towing with EB2 or VM1, SwayControl is ready to protect your journey.

Designed and Tested in Australia

Like all Elecbrakes technology, SwayControl has been developed and tested right here in Australia. Our engineers fine-tuned the system using both real-world road testing and advanced simulation, ensuring dependable performance across the toughest towing conditions.

Smarter. Safer. Simpler.
