Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle brake system includes a brake unit, a brake line associated with the brake unit, and an activatable fluid supply device associated with the brake line. Upon activation, the fluid supply device is configured to supply gas directly into the brake line to increase pressure in the brake line, such that increased pressure is rapidly applied to the brake unit. In an embodiment, the fluid supply device is a pyrotechnic device. Le système de freinage de véhicule de l'invention comprend: un bloc freins; une conduite de frein associée au bloc freins; et un dispositif d'alimentation en fluide activable associé à la conduite de frein. Le dispositif d'alimentation en fluide est conçu pour alimenter directement en gaz la conduite de frein, afin d'y augmenter la pression qui agit rapidement sur la conduite de frein. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif d'alimentation en fluide est un dispositif pyrotechnique.
