An energy distribution box includes a connection line connected respectively by an input supply line to each of a first and second input and an output supply line to each of a plurality of outputs. A switching means is arranged respectively in each of the input and output supply lines for selectively and independently coupling each of the inputs and outputs with the connection line. Each of the output supply lines are disposed independent of each other and at least two pedal feel emulators are disposed separately on independent output supply lines for ensuring that in case of malfunction of one of the pedal feel emulators that at least one of the pedal feel emulators is supplied with electrical energy from the energy distribution box.

Energy distribution box

An extreme emergency braking system including at least two brake modules, a pedal feel emulator in communication with at least one of the brake modules by way of a first communication line, an electric park brake switch assembly in communication with the brake modules by at least a second communication line, and an electric circuit adapted to supply at least a first voltage to a first one of the brake modules and a second voltage to a second one of the brake modules, the supplied voltages being indicative of a state of the switch assembly, wherein the first communication line is independent of the second communication line.
