Core offering

KORMEE designs, manufactures, and sells automotive electronic braking and stability control systems — including ABS, EBS, ESC, EPB, AEBS, TPMS, TEBS, ECAS, ADAS series, and eddy current retarders — as OEM components to commercial vehicle, passenger vehicle, and motorcycle manufacturers.

Product overview

KORMEE (Guangzhou Ruili Kormee Automotive Electronic Co., Ltd.) is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of commercial vehicle electronic control systems. The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture, anchored by the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as the foundational core product — covering passenger trucks, trailers (TEBS), and hydraulic variants — which serves as the base upon which higher-level systems are built. The ABS platform integrates with the EBS (Electronic Braking System) as an upgraded controller, which in turn serves as the open vehicle control platform enabling ESC (Electronic Stability Control), EPB (Electronic Parking Brake), AEBS (Advanced Emergency Braking), and ECAS (Electronic Air Suspension). Supporting the core braking product lines are TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), a full suite of Sensor/Sensor Harness products, ATS (Thermal Management System), eddy current retarders, electronic vacuum pumps and tanks, and an ADAS product series including AVM, BSD, DMS, and 360° panoramic cameras. The company also produces specialized sub-components (controllers, solenoid valves, relays, displays, sensors, harnesses) that are shared across multiple product lines, enabling a modular, system-integrated approach to serving commercial vehicle OEMs.

Products and services

• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for passenger and commercial vehicles. Prevents wheel lockup during emergency braking, maintaining vehicle directional control and enabling the driver to steer around obstacles. Covers 4-channel and 6-channel controllers, solenoid valves, quick-release valves, relay valves, waterproof solenoid valves, rear axle integrated valves, hydraulic assemblies, wire harnesses, and spiral power cables. KORMEE holds 35%+ domestic commercial vehicle ABS market share and #1 global ranking for pneumatic brake ABS.
• Electronic Braking System (EBS) Electronic Braking System (EBS) is an upgraded control system based on ABS and ESP. It reduces brake response time and build-up pressure time, enables electronic brake force distribution and truck-trailer consistency control, shortens braking distance, and improves overall vehicle braking performance. EBS can integrate ESC, ACC, and AEBS systems with minimal additional components.
• Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) is an autonomous road vehicle safety system that uses sensors to monitor the vehicle ahead, detect relative speed and distance, calculate collision risk, and automatically apply emergency braking to avoid or mitigate collisions. Integrates braking system with 77G millimeter-wave radar and visual sensors using target-level feature fusion for accurate obstacle detection and low false positive rate.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a comprehensive vehicle stability control strategy combining ABS and ASR (anti-slip), extending vehicle handling performance and preventing loss of control at dynamic limits. Includes direction control (oversteer/understeer correction) and rollover prevention control. KORMEE is one of only three global suppliers capable of mass-producing pneumatic-brake ESC systems.
• Electrical Park Brake (EPB) Electrical Park Brake (EPB) replaces traditional mechanical handbrake with electronic control. It integrates parking braking and driving braking functions; automatically engages when the vehicle is parked and disengages on startup. Includes EPB controllers, parking memory valves, knob valves, and dual-channel one-way valves.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses wireless sensors inside tires to monitor tire pressure and temperature in real time, displaying data in the cockpit and alerting drivers to anomalies. Includes tie-strap sensors, brass valve sensors, aluminum valve sensors, displays, and relay units. Proprietary technology overcomes signal transmission in metal-rich commercial vehicle environments with auto front-tire position detection within 10 seconds and 5-7 year sensor battery life.
• Trailer Electronic Braking System (TEBS) Trailer Electronic Braking System (TEBS) is an upgraded trailer control system based on trailer ABS. It reduces brake system response time, enables electronic brake force distribution and trailer consistency control, shortens braking distance, and enhances overall vehicle braking performance. Integrates electro-pneumatic braking, ABS, roll stability, and brake force distribution functions with lift axle control, emergency cut-off, and wear indication features.
• Wheel Speed and Environmental Sensors Wheel speed and environmental sensors for commercial vehicle applications, including Hall sensors with magnets, magnetoelectric sensors (straight head, bent head, fixed type), yaw rate sensors, steering angle sensors, and tire pressure monitoring sensors. Wheel speed sensors rated -40°C to 220°C with 250°C/1-hour survival rating.
• Thermal Management System (ATS) Thermal Management System (ATS) for commercial vehicles, designed to manage engine and component temperatures for optimal performance and safety.
• Electronically Controlled Air Suspension System (ECAS) Electronically Controlled Air Suspension System (ECAS) for commercial vehicles, enabling adjustable ride height and suspension stiffness for improved comfort and load handling.
• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Product Series Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) product series including AVM (Around View Monitor), BSD (Blind Spot Detection), DMS (Driver Monitoring System), and 360-degree panoramic systems for commercial and special-purpose vehicles.
• Electromagnetic Eddy Current Retarder Electromagnetic eddy current retarder for commercial vehicles, providing additional braking force to reduce wear on traditional braking systems.
• Electronic Vacuum Pump and Electronic Vacuum Tank Electronic vacuum pump and electronic vacuum tank products for brake assist systems in new energy commercial vehicles.
