Which part does the handbrake brake?

[GenevieveMarie]

Car handbrakes always brake the rear wheels. Here is some relevant information about car handbrakes: 1. Classification: Parking brakes come in different types, including mechanical mechanisms operated by hand or foot. High-end vehicles are increasingly adopting electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes. 2. Electronic handbrake: The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control. The electronic handbrake is a technology that realizes parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
