A device for initiating and carrying out a sudden vehicle deceleration

There is provided a device for initiating and carrying out a sudden vehicle deceleration, in particular for emergency braking situations proposed, wherein the delay is initiated by the explosion of at least one propellant charge or explosive charge which acts on at least one component of the delay devices. the brake fluid is a by the explosion of the propellant charge or explosive charge, is moved with a pressure be impinged piston or a locking destroyed, so that the stored energy of an energy-storing device can be released. The triggering of this device is done automatically by means of a surroundings sensor system, if the presence of an unavoidable collision is detected on the basis of objects in the surroundings of the vehicle and their movement.
